My fave meals to meal prep and freeze are:
- Chilli con carne/ 5 bean chilli
- Bolognese (without the pasta, so I just defrost the bolognese and cook some fresh pasta when I want it)
- Shepherds pie
- Curry
I'm vegan so I use vegan mince/meat alternatives or beans/lentils in all of these and they defrost really well and taste just as good!

I agree, chili is a great one to freeze along with any soups (just make sure you have enough extra space in the container because it will expand in the freezer). I like to make sheet pan chicken and vegetables and freeze it. I also make this sweet potato shepherds pie recipe and freeze it because it has all the freezing instructions there.
