With all the time we are spending at home these days, many of us are doing a lot more cooking. Having to make a meal three times a day, seven days a week can be exhausting, but if we cook smart, we can make our food go a long way.

Instead of trying to figure out new recipes for every meal, try making meals that yield large batches to be frozen and reheated. We rounded up 10 of our favorite recipes that you can make in bulk and pop in the freezer for a later time.

5-Ingredient Crock Pot Chili

This recipe, from registered dietician and nutritionist Ilian Muhlstein, is simple, decadent, healthy, and perfect for the family. It’s also versatile enough to be used for tacos, placed atop taco salads, or used as a sauce on noodles. All you need is onion, baked beans, tomato goods, ground turkey or beef, and lots of spices.

Better Broccoli Casserole

The good thing about a casserole is it makes a dollar stretch a long way. With just broccoli, quinoa, milk, butter, garlic, bread, and seasonings, you can make a meal that will be good for the whole week.

Lightened-Up Lasagna

With just 73 calories, this lasagna will last you and your roommates or family for days. Instead of traditional noodles, the recipe calls for grilled zucchini. You’ll also need olive oil, garlic, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, thyme, basil, salt, pepper, eggs, cottage cheese, and parmesan cheese. In just 30 minutes of baking, you will have the most delicious lasagna that you can freeze and reheat in the days to come.
