This month there were only four individuals in our group for freezer meal swapping so it was decided we would each make two meals and in the end we would have eight different meals for the month. I really like making meals this way.
The meals I chose for this month are Barbecue Beef and Turkey Burgers. I have posted the Barbecue Beef recipe before. It is a family favorite. It is also a freezer meal favorite because I only had to brown the burger the day of the prep. Not as easy as dumping everything in a bag but pretty close. The Turkey Burgers are a new recipe. They were fantastic. I have to make them again soon. the one change I would make is to use fresh (or at least freshER) breadcrumbs. We like ours served with barbecue sauce for a touch of added flavor. . . not that the burgers need it.
