[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lasagna... you can do all the prep and put it right in the oven (think Stouffer's style)[/quote]

I've gone to a beach trip where every other day we went out for dinner and the in between days each person/family cooked one meal.  I made a lasagne, froze is and put it in the bottom of the cooler for the trip to the beach.  It kept the cooler very nice and cool for the trip and then was popped in the fridge, not the freezer when we arrived.  It was ready for dinner the second night just right to put into the oven.

Beef stew is another good make ahead and freeze meal, just toss into a pot with a layer of water (about 1 inch) in the bottom of the pan.  The water will help the stew to thaw and reheat evenly.  I make sure to make it with extra potatoes so that it thickens up extra thick and then water in the pan will thin it back to what I consider a normal consistency.

Not make ahead, but easy to make.  Buy refrigerator pizza crusts (in the tubes).  Unroll into a rectangle, then put layers of roast beef and horseradish cheddar, or ham and cheddar or turkey and smoked gouda, whatever combination you like.  I also like to put some mustard on the dough before I put the lunchmeat and cheese on, but my wife doesn't like it so I often skip that.  Roll the whole thing into a log.  Make two of them and bend the log into a arc and put two on a cookie sheet into a ring.   You can pinch the ends together or not,.  Then bake according to the instructions on the pizza roll.  Take it out, cut into slices and you have a great hot baked sandwich.  I usually make the two halves into different sandwiches so that people have a choice.  It takes about 3 minutes to put together and like 15 minutes to bake.  Easy enough to feed a crowd on with a lot of combinations.
