Freezer Friendly Johnny Marzetti Casserole Recipe

By

When it comes to freezer cooking, pasta dishes are always a great choice. In addition to being simple to prepare and reheat, noodle dishes are also filling and popular with everyone in the family. But the next time you’re planning your meals and looking for a simple pasta recipe to add the rotation, skip the plain spaghetti and try something new! This easy Johnny Marzetti casserole recipe is the perfect simple dinner idea that is sure to satisfy everyone in the family.square of pasta casserole on a white plate with the casserole dish in the background. Text reads "Johnny Marzetti casserole"

What is Johnny Marzetti Casserole?

This delicious dish is an Ohio recipe that was originally created in a Columbus restaurant owned by Italian immigrant Teresa Marzetti. The baked pasta dish, which was made with ground beef, cheese, tomato sauce, and noodles, is named after her brother-in-law, Johnny. The Marzetti Restaurant opened in the city, near The Ohio State University, in 1919 and by the 1940s, the namesake dish was a popular dinner option across the Midwest. In addition to ordering the classic pasta dish at restaurants around Ohio, many Midwesterners started whipping up this simple dish at home for their families.square pasta bake piece on a white plate with full dish in the background

Is Johnny Marzetti the Same as Goulash?

This casserole recipe has similar ingredients as goulash, which is why many people wonder if the two recipes are the same. Although the original Johnny Marzetti casserole is sometimes called American goulash, it isn’t the same as the traditional Hungarian dish.

The recipe that originated in Hungary is typically made with elbow macaroni and seasoned with paprika and other spices. Another notable difference between the two dishes is how they’re cooked. While goulash is usually prepared in a big pan on the stovetop, Johnny Marzetti is a baked casserole that is typically cooked in the oven.

Can You Freeze Johnny Marzetti Casserole?

This quick and easy recipe is so simple to freeze and reheat. All you need to do is prepare the casserole according to the recipe instructions, cover it with aluminum foil, and freeze it until you’re ready to eat.

Recipe Substitutions and Ideas

This delicious recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner. But that doesn’t mean you have to follow the recipe exactly! There are a few simple substitutions you can make to adjust your recipe to suit your tastes and dietary restrictions. Try making these recipe swaps to allow you to work with ingredients you already have on hand:

  • Use different pasta. You can easily swap out the penne pasta for a different noodle variety. Elbow macaroni noodles, rotini pasta, or egg noodles are simple substitutions you can make that won’t affect the taste or cook time of the dish.
  • Make it gluten free. Since this recipe uses pasta, you’ll need to make a substitution if you’re looking for a gluten free dinner idea. Use gluten free penne pasta (or any other gluten free noodle variety) instead of traditional pasta for a quick fix. Or try substituting rice for pasta for a different take on the recipe.
  • Use ground turkey. Lighten up the dish by swapping the ground beef with ground turkey. You’ll be able to significantly reduce the fat content of your dish without sacrificing the flavour.
  • Serve with a salad. Add some freshness to your freezer dinner by tossing together a quick salad while your casserole is cooking. A fresh salad is the perfect healthy side dish to go along with this hearty pasta dish.

Homemade Freezer Sloppy Joes

By

Sloppy Joes are always a family favorite. On top of being quick and easy to make, everyone in the family loves them! And while this homemade sandwich recipe is pretty simple to make, did you know you can reduce your prep work even more by freezing it? This simple recipe for freezer sloppy Joes is a quick and easy dinner idea for a busy weeknight. bun filled with meat sauce on a plate next to carrots. Text reads "freezer meal Sloppy Joes" #freezermeals101 #sloppyjoes #makeahead #freezersloppyjoesUsing a pre-made sauce is a great way to cut down on your prep work when you’re making sloppy Joe’s for dinner. But if you have a batch of meat and sauce already prepared, there’s no need to use the pre-made stuff! And since the homemade sauce in this simple recipe tastes so much better than the canned version, you’ll never go back to the store-bought sloppy Joe sauce again.

How do you make Sloppy Joe sauce from scratch?

Making your own sauce from scratch may seem intimidating – especially if you’ve always used the store-bought sauce for your sandwiches. But creating your own sauce at home is pretty simple. And the best part is that you can use items you probably already have in your kitchen right now.

Sloppy joe sauce is made by combining a few fresh vegetables, like onions, garlic, and green pepper, with a variety of seasonings. After that, you’ll stir in chili sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice.

How many pounds of meat do you need to make Sloppy Joes?

The amount of meat you need to make your sandwiches will depend on the number of people you’ll be serving. My recipe uses one and a half pounds of ground beef and feeds six people. If you’ll be feeding a crowd or want to make extra, it’s a good idea to double the recipe to ensure you have enough sauce to cover all the extra meat.

It’s just as fast to double or triple or quadruple the recipe and you can then have many of them in the freezer ready to go.

Can you freeze Sloppy Joes?

Of course! This simple recipe is so easy to freeze. Simply brown the ground beef, add the sauce, allow the meat to cool, then pour it into a freezer bag. Don’t forget to label your bag before you put it in the freezer so you know what’s inside! Flatten the bag for easy storage in your freezer and allow the meat to freeze. Sloppy Joe meat can be frozen for up to six months.

When you’re ready to reheat your meat, remove it from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator to thaw for at least 24 hours. After the meat has thawed, you can reheat it on the stovetop or in your slow cooker.freezer bag full of Sloppy Joes sauceIf you have leftovers after reheating your sloppy joes, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

You can also find freezer-friendly recipes for variations such as this Instant Pot Turkey Sloppy Joes or this Taco Sloppy Joes or Tater Tot Sloppy Joes Casserole. 

How to Make Homemade Sloppy Joes:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup onion, chopped finely

How to Serve Sloppy Joe Meat

Once you have your sloppy joe meat prepared, you might be wondering what to do with it. There are a variety of ways you can use your meat, giving you a few different options for dinner. That means you can freeze up a few batches and make a new meal every time you reheat it!

  • On a bun. The traditional way to enjoy a sloppy joe is on a bun. Use a regular hamburger bun or grab your favorite gluten-free bun to keep this recipe gluten-free. Try toasting the bun before adding the meat to keep the bread from becoming soggy.
  • Over fries. Bake some crispy French fries, then top them with sloppy joe meat and shredded cheese to enjoy a messy dinner the kids will love.
  • On nachos. Make sloppy joe nachos by spreading the sloppy joe meat over the top of tortilla chips. Top the chips with lots of cheese and enjoy them as a snack or appetizer.
  • In a baked potato. Create a stuffed baked potato with your meat for a quick and filling dinner. Bake your potatoes as usual, then cut a slit in the potato. Add some butter to the potato and loosen the filling. Then, top your potato with cooked sloppy joe meat and cheese.

Hash Brown Casserole (freezer meal version)

By

Hash brown casserole makes such a nice dish for breakfast or brunch. This make-ahead version is also great for bringing to a potluck. It’s a go-to for our family for Christmas morning or nice Sunday brunches. 

This easy breakfast casserole is nice and cheesy. In our house, if there are any leftovers, everyone tries to be the first one to the fridge the next morning to finish them up. That’s really the sign of a great recipe!clear bag filled with cubed hash browns on top image. Cheesy hash browns on white plate topped with ketchup at bottom. Text reads "Hash Brown Casserole freezer meal" #freezermeals101 #hashbrowncasserole #freezercasserole #makeahead I love a good make-ahead breakfast dish. Make a complete brunch with scrambled egg bites, French toast casserole, this potato side dish, and a fruit platter.

Hashbrown casserole is also sometimes called party potatoes (because it’s perfect for a crowd) or funeral potatoes (because this comfort food is often given to families who’ve lost a loved one). 

Can you freeze hash brown casserole?

You can absolutely make hash brown casserole ahead of time and freeze it. In fact, that’s the way I make mine most of the time. You can freeze it before you bake it or after. I find it is best when you make it without baking, freeze it, and then cook it fresh on the day you want to serve it. 

This recipe freezes beautifully. While potatoes don’t always freeze and reheat well, you can use pre-frozen potatoes such as frozen hash browns without issue.plate of bacon, scrambled eggs, and ketchup topped hash browns

How to Make Hash Brown Casserole:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 10.5 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 kg bag frozen hash browns (you can use cubed or shredded, but I prefer cubed)

Assembly instructions:

  1. Melt butter in the microwave or a stovetop pot. 
  2. While butter is melting, chop the onion.
  3. Mix everything together in a giant bowl starting with the butter and mushroom soup.
  4. Dump it in a large resealable freezer bag.
  5. Remove the excess air.
  6. Seal.
  7. Freeze.

Crock Pot Cooking instructions:

  2. Dump bag contents into your slow cooker and cook on low for 3-5 hours.

Note that because of the potatoes and cheese, this casserole tends to stick to the crockpot, so I tend to use a Slow Cooker Liner when I make this dish.

If desired, you can serve with ketchup, salsa, or hot sauce.plate of hash browns topped with ketchup. A bowl of strawberries are nearby.

Recipe Variations:

  • Brown Italian sausage or breakfast sausage and stir it in to add protein and flavor. This is one of our favorite versions. When I add sausage to mine, I also add a can of evaporated milk so that it’s not at all dry. 
  • Change the type of cheese used. Sharp cheddar, jalapeño jack, or a tex mex blend are all nice options. 
  • Add cubed ham or crumbled bacon.
  • Stir in some vegetables such as diced red or green peppers, jalapeños, or diced green chilies. 
  • Top it with a mixture of butter and breadcrumbs or Cornflakes on the day of cooking.
