Italian Stuffed Peppers
2 green bell peppers, halved and seeds removed
1 lb ground beef, sautéed with onion and garlic
Red pepper flakes to taste
Italian seasoning to taste
Salt and pepper
1 jar marinara sauce
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella
Place peppers cut side down on a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Spray peppers as well. Roast for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Set aside to cool. Combine ground beef with seasoning and enough marinara sauce to create a thick mixture. Add ½ cup cheese to beef mixture. Place peppers cut side up in baking dish spread with a small amount of marinara sauce. Stuff peppers with beef mixture, top with remaining sauce and cheese. Freeze. When ready to bake, bake at 400 degrees until heated through and cheese is melted and brown.
Tater Tot Casserole (makes a 9x13 casserole)
2 lbs ground beef, sautéed with onion and garlic
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
12 slices American cheese
1 bag tater tots
1 bag mixed vegetables
Mix ground beef with soup, milk, and veggies. Heat through and combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into dish and top with sliced American cheese. Top with tater tots. Freeze. Can be baked at 425 degrees for about 35-40 minutes, until bubbly and the tater tots are crispy. We like to serve with cottage cheese.
Pizza Burgers (recipe from Shelby at the Queen’s Cabinet)
1 lb ground beef, sautéed with onion and garlic
6 oz tomato paste
½ cup water
1 packet sloppy joe mix
1 pkg of 8 hambuger buns
8 oz sliced cheese
Heat ground beef, tomato paste, water, and sloppy joe mix until hot and combined. Top hamburger rolls then top with cheese. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and bubbly. If freezing, freeze rolls and cheese separate from meat mixture and assemble prior to baking.

I would absolutely have to line up the tater tots! Can't have them just all over the place or my head would spin! 😂
Oh man! I thought I was the only one who took the time to organize my tots! I seriously can not have them out of order. 😂
Omg yes me too lmfao it would drive me nuts
I am loving how many videos you’ve uploaded over the last couple of weeks!! I have no idea how you work full time, basically do TH-cam full time (I.e upload and put more effort into your channel than most people that do TH-cam full time) and manage to keep up with everything your kids are doing. You’re literally superwoman 😂😂
Thank you so much Kate!! That means a lot to me ❤️
Completely agree!
Yep, it's amazing!
@@Jen-Chapin DEFINITELY!!! we agree! Superwoman! We notice and appreciate what u are doing. I love when I have a different video from u to watch everyday LOL!
Yes I'd like to see more! They all look delicious! Thanks Jen!!
We just adopted our three foster kids and both of us work full time. I've been really struggling with how I'm going to feed them and everything while also working. Thank you so much for all of these recipes
Great video,thanks! You probably know this but shepherds pie is made with lamb mince in the U.K.,if its made with beef it's cottage pie ☺ I don't know why cottage pie though!
Julie Lynn very interesting!
Apparently they were originally all cottage pies if they had meat and mash. Shepherds pies name came after.
Also an interesting tid bit where I'm from in the UK, the first dish was more of a Cumberland pie (a cottage pie with a topping of cheese and breadcrumbs added on top of the mash)
We haven’t had Tator tot casserole 🥘 or Shepherds pie. Lots of new recipes to try. I also watch Queen’s cabinet with Shelby.
Sooo glad you made this video! My friend/coworker just had back surgery, will be making these meals for her!!!!
I used to dump my tutor tots but now I line them up because it not only looks better but the tots get evenly crispy
JEN!!!!! FANTASTIC VLOG, ALL MY FAVORITES THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YES MORE OF THESE VIDEOS, MAYBE SOME PORK FREEZER MEALS😀
Great video!! Yes please bring on some more of beef and chicken. Love freezer meals. Thanks so much for sharing!!
This was great! Did you see Shelbys freezers?
I loved using those Glad containers but haven't been able to find them. Have they been discontinued?
I made Taco Soup yesterday... was so good.........great ideas Jen!!
Hi Mrs. Jen these are great. Some low carb and some that I can make gluten free. I would love to see more and also with the chicken. Also, yes line up the tots. OCD over here!!! Lol! Makes my day when there’s a new video. Thank you again!
Great recipes!! I am making all of these! 😉 oh, btw..Im sure you know this hack but when I drain grease in a bowl like that...i put foil down first and it is such easy clean up!! 😊
Yes ! I line up the tatar tots for that kind of thing AND when I am just cooking them for a side ! OCD lol !
Budget friendly is what we need, ok I will quit rambling now :)
Idk about that cottage pie. You can find a good recipe on bbc good food (uk)
Omg.. I love Shelby she makes such fancy meals to me look so do able. I enjoy being inspired to try new meals by you and so many thank you for sharing 👏🏾
I’m going to make these exact recipes this weekend to help me get through November and the holidays. You are the first you tuber that’s actually made freezer meals look appetizing to me 😂
Aw thank you!!
I was sitting here at lunch eating my pudding cup listening and i swore you said "Grumpy beef" I about spit out my pudding and started laughing. Good lord I can't hear today. Anyway, always love Mr. Murph! :) :) I recently found Shelby as well as I love her videos! And Pizza burgers i've been making the the last 5 years, the kids get a kick out of them and they are simple!
£50 for 8 minced beef meals, is not a budget? Mince beef is the cheapest to buy.
Ground beef is around $4-5 per pound here in the United States so yes, it would be at least $28 to $35 just for the ground beef to make these meals.
I love these type videos. I love how you cooked everything with one meat, it simplifies the process. I loved all these tecipes. These are very budget friendly, easy to do and will fill up freezer fast :) Thanks Jen!
Honestly I can't thank you enough for these recipes... I'm having to cook for my parents now and these recipes are going to do help. God bless you for sharing!
Love all of your videos. Please....more ground beef recipes. I'm going to try all of these videos. TFS!!!!!
Growing up Midwest, I am thinking this was called Cowboy Up ?? (Something) and have done it with actually almost all other types of meat, fav being , Thanksgiving turkey and some gravy!! Hmmmmm 😋😋😋😋😋
YUM...thanks, Jen. Love the convenience of freezer meals. (Re: Shelby, over at Queen's Cabinet...I used to think it that you two were obviously professional chefs because of the delicious meals you created.) Anywho, I've definitely added some of these to my freezer meal repertoire. :-D
Loved the grd beef recipes! I like Chix but some have bad ju Ju about Chix I finally found hood tasting beef!! The previous one tasted horrible! Like cooked erasers!! We y yo
Albertsons snd was pleasantly impressed w/ their 80/20 the one at Walmart was like eating erasers!!!! Wonder if they added pink slime??? As an extender?? Gotta see the Jamie Oliver the Naked Chef’s demo on Pink slime. Dooo gross! They fo it w/ a trained Chef handling the parts is parts!! Sooo gross.. he went in yo improve school lunches as the pink slime was used on kids lunches!!!! Your kids will sooo appreciate in your lunch packing skills!! Plz comment on it after seeing it!!

I never heard of tater tot casserole until I was much older (I'm a MN transplant). When I did have it, they didn't do cheese...maybe that's an Iowa thing. Lol
I LOVE shepherd's pie though. We also like hunter's pie (use ground venison instead of ground beef).
Also, fun fact...shepherd's pie is made with lamb or whatever. Cottage pie is ground beef. Google...answering the questions no one asks. (I was trying to look up more ground beef recipes...lol)
Great video, Jen! Weighing in on the family debate: Tater tots MUST be lined up for, as you said, tot coverage. When you said it I was like, damn skippy! 🤓
PS- Taste of Home is awesome❤
A hot dish is what I grew up knowing as a casserole. Never heard of it til I moved to Michigan
Jen... this was what I needed!! I was literally just looking for meals for $50 and under on TH-cam lmbo! Yay!! 💜💜💜
Jenn Rex awesome!!!
Taco soup is a must try. Everything looks amazing. When I make Shepard's pie, I put a can of Pillsbury crescent rolls on the bottom fir a little crust. It's delish.
Omg!!!!! I need your glasses!!!! Where did you purchase them? What brand are they?!?!!
I have been binge watching your videos this weekend. I am loving your budget cooking/pantry challenge videos.
Hi Jen! Great Video 😄 I was wondering if you see any issues with re-freezing the ground beef especially if you have leftovers and maybe reheat it the day after?
Also I always struggle with knowing how long I can use meat after it's frozen as I sometimes freeze meat on it's expiration date. Any advice? 😊 thanks and much love from Switzerland! 🇨🇭
@jenchapin Made your tater tot casserole tonight. So delish!!! I halfed it and made it in an 8x8 glass dish and it was gone quick! Next time I'll make the double recipe in a 9x13 for sure!
I would not have thought to line up the tots, but now that I've seen it I can't unsee it. My OCD self will totally line them up from now on. I don't see how meal prepping will save me any time, but I'm glad it works for you. I just don't spend much time in the kitchen. One of the things I do (sort of meal prep) is buy hamburger in bulk when it goes on sale and then cook and freeze in meal size batches. I use it for tacos, nachos, spaghetti, lasagne, stuffed peppers, pizza burgers. We love pizza burgers too. Ours is just buns, jarred sauce, hamburger (pre-cooked, frozen and reheated in the microwave) or pepperoni and shredded cheese.
Great recipes. Something you can do with your stuff Peppers. Add vegetables. Whatever vegetables you like at it. I like to add a frozen bag of Gumbo mix. Which is normally corn peppers and okra. And also throw in some spinach. You get your nutrients from spinach when you cook it. In Spanish is one of those leafy greens that you can add to anything and everything hot or cold. It's kind of really just fill out that stuffed pepper. But great recipes all around
You are a beast in the kitchen. I’ve made a bunch of your recipes and I have had NOTHING that wasn’t absolutely delicious!!
Looks so good. I may have to make the pizza burgers, except as pizza BAGEL burgers. Yum
Your best video Ever... this is economical and so family friendly...and now i can cook for my Senior parents and my husband and so too.love you girlfriend
My family are all great home cooks so I grew up with family meals and honestly our recipes take so long to cook...
My Mom has a myriad of health issues and does all the cooking and cleaning in her home. Getting a proper meal cooked on the table every night before my Dad comes home has become an increasing struggle.
This year for Christmas I made them the Shepherd's pie, taco soup, and tater casserole as their gift. It was a godsend as I've been out of work and had a lot of this stuff on hand. My BF and I doubled up the recipes and it was gifts for both of our families! Cooking full meals after Christmas is the last thing any Mum wants to do... Actually any time of year lol. But especially after Christmas... My Mum always goes overboard because Christmas is very special in our family.
Thanks Jen, and Merry Christmas to you and yours I hope it was amazing. I'm sure it was as you inspire me to be a better version of myself when I watch your videos. ❣️
Love these ideas! I would love to see a chicken version! My mother passed away last Thanksgiving and while my dad can do basic cooking he keeps saying he is getting tired of his own cooking, so I have been prepping meals for him and really needed some freezer ideas that he would like and this fits the bill, THANK YOU !
I have never added milk to Tatertot casserole (which is what I have always called it)-seems like a good idea. You should try Crispy Crowns. I'm in the lining them up camp.
I have to line my tater tots up. It’s funny because my sister just throws her’s all over the place. She just tells me I’m OCD! Lol. I guess I am. I make my tater tot casserole different (Southern Style)
Can’t wait to see more videos this style! Thanks Jen!
Funny how we all have different recipes for the same thing we like. Shepard's pie (actually cottage pie, shepard's is lamb) is a favorite here but, I use ground beef, carraway, worcestershire sauce, peas, can of tomato paste.
My kids love pizza burgers. I’ve never seen it with sloppy joe mix, we’ll have to try it! I just use pizza sauce and sometimes cut up veggies to throw in.
Would love more of ground beef and chicken freezer meals. LOVED THIS!!!
Try Trader Joe's taco seasoning next time....I think it has less sodium! Plus its super cheap.
Fix those stuffed peppers in the instant pot. My garden was full of fresh peppers I fixed my filling stuffed each pepper by cutting tops off wrapped each one in plastic wrap them added about 6 to a vacuum sealed bag and froze them. You take them straight from freezer put in steamer basket cook them on high pressure for 12 minutes do quick release add cheese put top back on and let steam melt cheese. They are perfect every time. I suggest cutting tops off and stuffing whole pepper instead of cutting them in half. I have been making these for years every time I post a photo on my Pinterest board everyone wants my recipe. Lol!! Give them a try in the Instant pot keeps you from heating kitchen up in the hot summer months. Plus cooking time you just can’t beat. I add rice in mine.
Tater Tot Casserole was served in my college cafeteria. I think when they cooked it they used too much oil. How much oil do you use in your recipe? The Pizza Burgers look great.😃
Excellent video. Clear, detailed. No dithering! Thanks!
Great video Jen. Just an FYI the reason there was so much liquid in the ground beef was because you crowded the pan so the liquid could not evaporate , it actually boiled instead of browned.
The stuffed pepper containers look like plastic? So do you transfer it to oven safe pan? Do you nuke it or put it in the oven? I’m definitely making these. Looked yummy.
I just found and subscribed to your channel. Do you have any suggestions for a husband and kids that won't eat freezer meals? If they don't know they are freezer meals, they eat them, but it's hard to hide them in the freezer without them seeing them.
The pizza burgers we used English muffins bc it makes the base more stable. Love hamburger casserole but use just canned green beans ❤️
I used to throw them all in willy nilly but I have now for the past couple years have been lining them up.. looks much better that way. We up in SE Minnesota, call it tater tot hotdish but make it with cream of mushroom soup and add shredded cheese on top of the tater tots 😋😋😋 deliciouso!
Yummy! I watch all of your videos. Your voice is so relaxing too so I watch right before bed.
Thank you for the meals ideas I get tired of making the same old things I definitely will be trying some of the meals I had gastric bypass surgery in December so I don’t eat as much as I use to but I know I can customize them to fit our tastes please continue to make these kind of vlogs your becoming one of my favorites
My first gf(age 17-32) is from MN. Her family calls casseroles hot dish. So, I make tater tot hot dish. I revised her moms recipe since I use ground turkey.
Just love all your videos and Thank you for trying out the recipes and making sure they are delicious before you share with us God bless!!
i just bought a freezer so im loving all your freezer meal recipes. you really inspire me and love watching your channel.
How do you keep the onion from making your butcher block counter from smelling??
Hi Jen, you made my day. I make all of these recipes except the pizza burgers. Will definitely be making them. Yep, I use cheese slices in my tater tot casserole and I line up the tots on top.
So many videos lately - it's great! We call tater tots potato gems here in Australia and yep, I'm a big fan of randomly scattering them about ;)
Yum! I love tater tot casserole. I make a very similar version (and I line the tots up). :) Thanks!
Fantastic!! Thank you!! I need more freezer meals 😊
I would love to see maybe a shredded chicken meal prep! We have Tator Tot Casserole here in Bama, but we make it a little different!
More freezer/ground beef meals! We just bought a 1/4 cow from a local farmer, now I need some recipes!
I always line up my tots too 😂 my husband tells me I’m ridiculous
My college served Tater Tot Casserole in our cafeteria. Wasn’t the biggest fan but might try it again.
if you fold the zip line on the zip bag out, before you place them in the holder, you are keeping the zip line clean, and it's easy not to spill anything there can prevent the bag for closing right.
Molly Yeh on Girl Meets Farm says to make the tater tots all snuggly and neat. I can picture her saying it everytime I make this so, snuggly and neat it is!
Cottage is beef, shepherd is lamb, mutton. All looks tasty
I would love to see any freezer meals you want to make. I am going to do the same thing but I am researching on how to do it. Getting ideas from youtubes.
THANKS FOR EXPLAINING AS YOU GO AND TIPS AND IDEA'S AND INFORMATION THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks for the freezer meals. They look delicious! More please. ;-)
umm, lined up tots, of course 🙄 we’re not animals ☮️💟🙏🏻
Yes please more freezer meals ground beef chicken pork. I like it all!💞💞💞
Fabulous Jen as usual....I vote always for more 🙏 thanks so much
I LOVE ground beef recipes and I’d like to try freezer meals. Gonna try these for sure!
I've always wondered how people drain their beef, I've always just waited until the 93% lean stuff went on sale and bought a whole bunch lol
If you put onions in the fridge for an hour before chopping them, they will be less potent tear jerkers.
Tater tots must be symmetrical on the casserole! Lol the meat to cheese to tot ratio must be exact!!! Hahahahaha All of these recipes look amazing!
We make our Taco Soup using hominy instead of corn and real ups the flavor.
I love Shelby! Great recipes, thank you.
line them up and we put shredded cheese on top of the tots 5 minutes before it's completely done. I have adapted it to my husbands liking as a kid no cheese
Lining up your tater-tots is an unwritten law. lol You have to do it. No questions asked.
Thank you so much for watching I hope you have a dog like this lol
oh, cant wait for the chicken freezer meal video. Thanks Jen!
Love all this recipes, thank you for sharing
So in Texas, the tatortot casserole is a little different. We call it cowboy casserole!
I have a dog just like that, His name is Jake :) Watching now!
I enjoyed watching your videos.
Serious debate topic...tater tot coverage, you crack me up !
Oooh pepperoni on the pizza burgers w0uld be bomb
Tator tot hot dish is basically our state food in Minnesota, at least according to some people
Line em' up line em' up, knock'em knock'em back...bahaha
Jen I buy sliced mozzarella cheese at the deli counter
