[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We generally have various kinds of burgers and buns in our freezer. Also ground meat or Costco shredded rotisserie chicken that we can turn into quesadillas or nachos. Frozen ravioli and sauce, insta pot bbq quicken sliders (we usually have chicken thighs in the freezer and bbq sauce + buns), spaghetti and frozen meatballs or meatball sliders. Rice bowls are always popular with grilled salmon or another protein but are more labor intensive. We have a chest freezer and order from Butcher Box and stock up from Costco. Now that I’ve mastered quick defrosting methods there’s a lot I can pull together from stuff on hand. Rice and beans and egg-based stuff (huevos is rancheros, breakfast burritos, omelettes) too[/quote]

NP.  Are you prepping these things in addition to the meal you already planned for your family, or are you scrapping the original plan and making this for everyone?[/quote]

Totally depends on the situation but usually if I end up with a gang of teenagers at my house I’m pivoting on the original dinner plan in some way. It’s rare we’d have multiple kids for dinner on a weekday though. If it’s one of two I make family out of something that will feed us all. We usually somewhat improvise dinner day of anyhow so it’s just adjusting for who is there. If it’s a crowd I might make them all something teen friendly and modify for me and DH.[/quote]
