Salsa Joes Freezer Recipe

So, I'm finally getting around to adding the recipes I've made in the past. I can't wait till we've got them all on here. You ladies have made some wonderful meals! Here's the first:

Salsa Joes Freezer Recipe

4 lbs hamburger
2 cups salsa (mild, medium or hot, dependent on your taste!)
2 16 oz cans tomato sauce
4 tbsp brown sugar, packed

In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Add remaining ingredients, stirring well. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Simmer 20-30 mins. Cool and freeze in four portions (makes four "Salsa Joes" for each portion).

To use, defrost then add to large sauce pan. Heat over medium until warmed. Serve on toasted hamburger buns.

Mexi Beef Casserole Freezer Recipe

I made this for a dinner swap a few times back - I had never had it before I made it, but I think it turned out!  For those who want it, here it is - enjoy! :D Once I find the link to the site I got it from, I'll be sure it add it - I think they had a lot of good-lookin' stuff!

Mexi Beef Casserole Freezer Recipe

1 pound ground beef 
1 15-oz can sweet corn, drained 
1 cup mild, chunky salsa 
1/4 cup sliced black olives 
1 pkg cooked egg noodles 
1 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed 
1/4 cup taco sauce 
1 package taco seasoning mix 
1/2 cup tomato sauce 

Cook egg noodles according to instructions, drain. Meanwhile, brown beef in a skillet until brown and fully cooked. Drain any grease. In a bowl, combine all ingredients, then pour into a freezer container or a 9x13 baking dish. Freeze (may want to allow it to come down to room temperature before placing in freezer)

On cooking day, thaw completely in fridge (take it out the night before or morning of). In a preheated 325F oven, cook for 30-45 minutes, or until bubbly and completely hot throughout. Serve!
