What works for me is cooking twice and eating once.  I have heard some call is "morphing meals"  If I am having chicken twice in the same week as we are this week (Chicken Enchiladas tonight and South of the Border Chicken Soup later on in the week) and they both asked for shredded chicken, why not boil and shred it once, instead of wasting my time doing it twice????  If I am baking BBQ chicken one night, I might make a few extra pieces, and then make BBQ chicken pizza on another night.

I also like to brown several pounds of hamburger with onions, bag it in 2 cup portions and freeze them for later use.  It makes spaghetti, BBQ Beef Sandwiches, and several other dishes easier to make when I already have the hamburger browned.

I like to make meatloaf in muffin tins and freeze the leftover uneaten mini meatloafs for a quick supper later.  Simply spray the pan and the mini meatloafs slide right out.

Do any of you have any cook it once, eat it twice ideas to share with me????  What are some of your favorite recipes to use with these morphing meals????
