I am going to start posting recipes occasionally for those who are asking about freezer cooking. However, you do not have to be interested specifically in freezer cooking to enjoy these recipes. For example, the one I am posting today we did in bulk for a One Heart Disability luncheon (fed over a hundred) and friends of ours used it for our daughter’s rehearsal dinner that they “catered.” There are so many uses for mega cooking–for our families, to help others in need, to serve in capacities that others are not trained or experienced in, etc.
Today’s recipe–cheesy potato casserole–was one of my first freezer recipes. It is so simple and nearly everybody loves it. It is not very sour-creamy-tasting, so children enjoy it too. I am posting it to feed ten, twenty, and thirty (single, doubled, and tripled). I know you could do the math yourself, but my program does it for me, so I thought I would share all three. Happy cooking!
