“I make up my own TV dinners”

How do you partition out and put everything together so you just take out one container or so? I am phrasing this so badly but I can’t think of how to put it right!

Your onion and Rotel gravy sounds intriguing. Do you just put the two together?

Yes I make 4-6 TV dinners at a time. I use big can of Bush Vegetarian beans, for MAC either scratch or Velveeta and shells, mash potatoes(russet) w garlic & cheese & the “ burgers “ For the “gravy” I use one half packet of onion gravy made up n half can rotel. Mix well n divide it up on burgers. I have 8 containers that I reuse. Label n put in freezer. I’m not lucky like Judy with multiple freezers. I have one freezer above refrigerator

Tomorrow I’m going to make up spring rolls & freeze - no cooking - just assembly. Freeze on pan n the put in bag n pull 2-3 for a meal. They are so easy to make, I have 2 soups in freezer so pretty well out of space

This is what my oldest daughter uses for her meal prep. You can get them with 2 compartments. You can get them in sets of 4 etc.
