Freezer Cooking continued...

After about 3 weeks I've finally been able to get DS2 to go to bed with his brother and sister. For 1 or 2 months before that he was bound and determine to stay up all night (sometimes until 1-3 in the AM). On the bright side he then slept all morning and it was easy to get the older two breakfast and do homeschool with less interruption (DD and DS1 were going to bed early and waking up bright and early). So I was burning out at both ends with very little free time. Finally, they all go to bed early and wake up early and, delighted to get my evenings back, I've started a series of freezer meals. Here is the chicken meat left over from making stock being put to use:

Chicken Enchilada Filling







 Empty cans make great measuring cups when you don't want to dirty any more dishes.




 
To serve, this (one of these, I was able to make 2 with the chicken meat) will be thawed. Half a can of enchilada sauce will coat the bottom of my slow cooker. The filling will be wrapped in corn tortillas, which will be stacked in the slow cooker, covered with the rest of the sauce and cheese, and cooked on low for 6-8 hours.
