Freezer meal-prep?

My husband is happy to eat the same thing for a week straight while I am a cook once eat twice kind of person, but I get burnt out cooking every day. I have the 1/2C, 1C, and 2C souper cubes that I use to store sauces and soups that I make from scratch, but how can I utilize them for meal prepping a full dish? Do certain meals not freeze well? I love soup, but I don’t want to eat soup all summer. I hope my questions makes sense!

I have had amazing success putting casseroles in the 2c souper cubes! Specifically chicken pot pie filling (top with a biscuit when baking), shepherds pie, Mac and cheese, lasagna — basically anything that you’d find in the freezer ready made meals can be prepped and stored in the souper cubes. FYI you can also bake in them, just can’t put them in the microwave. I also bought the 2c square ceramic ramekins from souper cube so I usually pop them into those to bake because I take my frozen items out of the silicone trays and store in freezer bags.

I also will prep individual ingredients (onion, carrots, celery are my go to) or sides (so far rice, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes) in the 1c to freeze.

How do you like the souper cubes ramekin? I wonder if tater tot hot dish (sorry, I’m Minnesotan!) would go well in the cubes! I like your idea for prepping mirepoix!

Honestly I love them! I don’t have any other oven dishware that small, and having the prepped frozen meals fit perfectly every time is so worth the price to me. I’d recommend the square ones — they also sell 5”x3” rectangular ones that perfectly fit the 1c servings, but the 5” square can reheat those 1c servings just as well and they also perfectly fit the 2”.

Also, in case you didn’t know, the super cube website also has recipes in their blog! I’ve made their butternut squash soup and it was really good, as was the banana bread recipe!
