These vegetarian freezer meals are the best way to stay one step ahead of your busy, always hungry family.

Life is busy. Chances are the last thing on your mind is dinner. Or maybe it’s on your mind, but you have zero energy to make it happen. Freezer meals are about to become your new best friend, so let me introduce you…

Freezer meals save you time, because you only have to set aside one window of time to assemble all the meals.

They also save you money, because you are able to buy ingredients on sale in large amounts. Less money and less waste, means less stress for the busy home chef like yourself. Sounds like the best way to tackle the back to school blues to me!

Baked Vegetarian Freezer Meal Recipes

Bean & Cheese Enchiladas

Pardon me while I help myself to this entire tray of enchiladas. I have a soft spot for bean and cheese tacos and enchiladas.

Black Bean & Corn Enchiladas

I really wish there was a way for you to get a spatula, reach through the screen and get these babies onto your dinner plates!!! They are THAT good.

Chunky Marinara Ravioli Bake

A quick and easy way to a beautifully, delicious meal!

Ravioli & Pesto Bake

Pesto is pretty much good on anything, but it really adds a nice touch to this dish.

Ravioli Bake

I love this meal – besides the fact that it’s ridiculously delicious, is a “5-ingredient meal” and is freezer friendly…it takes like 5 minutes to prepare. Actually, more like 3 minutes. Place ravioli in dish. Add water to dish. Pour sauce over the top. Sprinkle Parm. Sprinkle mozz. BAKE.

Southwest Mac & Cheese Bake

This is a creamy, creamy and delicious version of mac n cheese with a little zip and zest mixed in! Balance the zip and zest with some black beans and corn and you’ve got the perfect one dish dinner!

Spinach Artichoke Baked Ravioli

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

Need a new dinner addiction? Spinach artichoke dip, over ravioli with shredded cheese melted all over it. Pardon me while I drown myself in this meal. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! (lol)

Spinach Ravioli Lasagna

This meal is much faster to put together than a lasagna because you’re putting the fresh or frozen ravioli into the baking dish without cooking it. You add a little water, plus the water from the marinara sauce, and the ravioli is cooked to perfection. You will ‘layer’ the sauce, raviolis, spinach and cheese…so it’s like a lasagna. But it doesn’t feel near as cumbersome in putting it together!

Triple Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese

...because one cheese just isn't enough. Serious comfort food here!

Tuscan Mac & Cheese

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

If you cannot make a trip to Italy, you’ll have to settle for Tuscany on a plate and this delicious homemade mac and cheese will transport you right to the rolling green hills of Tuscany. Mix in some fresh spinach or sliced, cooked Italian sausage for a “one-dish” casserole for dinner.

Vegetarian Tex-Mex Pasta Bake

All the delicious Tex-Mex flavors mixed together with pasta and baked until the cheese melts to pull it all together.

Skillet Vegetarian Freezer Meal Recipes

Black Bean Fajitas

Forget Taco Tuesday, how ‘bout Fajita Friday??? These vegetarian fajitas are a great option for busy weeknight meal! Please note how there are 2 ‘freezer parts’ for this meal - the black bean combo and the peppers and onions. Enjoy!

Creamy Spinach and Tomato Linguini

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

Love this rich and creamy homemade tomato sauce that gets toss with linguini noodles! Of course, you can use other long noodles like angel hair or spaghetti! You can freeze everything together but the heavy cream...you’ll want to swirl that in after the tomato sauce is reheated and bubbling. Enjoy!

Eggplant Marinara

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

A twist on marinara sauce - perfect for when you find eggplants on sale! Could be served on pasta or with bread.

Four Bean Chili

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

A fantabulous vegetarian chili that is easy to adapt and make your own! Add more veggies, or thicken it up with some cornstarch - or whatever your veggie-chili loving heart desires! Getting the beans and tomato based chili into the freezer can be super helpful for busy weeknight meals!

Mediterranean Chickpea Stew

You’re going to absolutely adore the delightful, yet simple flavors in this vegetarian dish. It’s the perfect mix of Mediterranean flavors, simmered together to result in an amazing bowl of stewed chickpeas. Enjoy!

Black Bean Quesadillas {Filling}

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

Love making quesadillas in the skillet, but you can bake them on cookie sheets too! This simple vegetarian filling is perfect for a super-fast weeknight dinner that’s packed with flavor and pizazz! Enjoy!

Mediterranean Quinoa Skillet

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

If you haven’t heard of quinoa, it’s a gluten free grain from Peru that is gaining popularity quickly here in the US. It tastes like rice, sorta. This Mediterranean Quinoa would make a lovely vegetarian meal, a nice side dish alongside some grilled chicken, or a non-vegetarian meal with diced chicken mixed in. Enjoy it as you wish!

Minestrone Soup

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

I like to make my Minestrone soup with butter as the fat base for sauteing the veggies. It some how adds just the teensiest hint of creaminess to the soup. You could certainly use olive oil, but try it with butter and see if you notice a difference!

Pasta Puttanesca

The flavor in this sauce runs DEEP.

Penne with Tomato-Eggplant Sauce

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

This rockstar eggplant-tomato sauce will rock your next pasta night. It’s crucial that you read the directions and NOT SKIP the drawing out of the bitter juices in eggplant step. (As us how we know!) It’s worth letting it sit in the sink for the time recommended, and you can use that time to accomplish other tasks in the kitchen. Enjoy!

Spinach & White Bean Soup

Packed with veggies and flavor, this soup is a great addition to your meal plan!

Spinach Tortellini Soup

A soup with tortellini is the best kind of soup!

Vegetarian Eggplant Pasta Skillet

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

We don’t do this often, but when we do...the end result is a fabulous meal. This unique recipe requires a little more prep time that our other meals...but not anymore hands-on time. What I mean is that the eggplant needs to be chopped, salted and rinsed. And in order to draw out any and all bitter juices that might be hiding in the eggplant you have, you need to let it sit for about 30 minutes with the salt drawing out the juices. It’s quick to get chopped and salted, but be prepared to plan your other prep around the eggplant waiting in the sink. 🙂 It’s well worth the wait and makes for a delicious pasta skillet meal!

Vegetarian Enchilada Pasta

All the best enchilada flavors pulled together with fresh veggies and tender pasta - the makings of a fantastic and delicious weeknight supper.

Vegetarian Split Pea Soup

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

A “non-traditional” split pea soup - because this one doesn’t have ham and is vegetarian! We are going to chop up all the veggies and get all the other spices and ingredients together into a freezer baggie, then freeze. We won’t freeze the dried split peas, but instead, will add them at the time of cooking. Having all the prep and chop work done in advance makes getting this onto the table a breeze. Enjoy!

Veggie Fajitas

Photo Credit: Myfreezeasy.com

Vegetarian fajitas....made with mushrooms, bell peppers and onions...combined with the delicious TexMex flavors of lime, garlic and cumin. Serve with your favorite vegetarian toppings and some vegetarian refried beans - for a complete vegetarian meal!

Vegetable Orzo Soup

Adore this delicious vegetarian soup - you're going to freeze the veggies and base of the meal, and then add the orzo pasta at the time of cooking. Enjoy!

White Beans with Spinach and Tomatoes

A delightfully, fresh vegetarian freezer meal. Add all the ingredients into a plastic baggie or dish, then reheat and simmer to perfection.
