cook and heat later can work but you made me think of something i use to do a lot for dinners. i would plan meals for a week, buy all the groceries and do all the prep. for example: i would buy 5 lb hamburger and instead of seperating and freezing just the meat, i would prepare a lasagna, a meatloaf, stuffed peppers, and patties. i would make a lot of meatloaf and stuff the peppers with part of that and the rest shape and wrap. freeze the lasagna, meatloaf, peppers and patties and each would be ready to thaw and cook. you are saving time by cutting veggies and prepping each meal one night instead of 4. instead of "cooking" each night you just thaw and heat.
