Well-Stocked Kitchen: Freezer

This post is part 4 of a series about the convenience and savings of keeping a well-stocked kitchen.

Part 1: The Well-Stocked Kitchen
Part 2: Non-Perishable Items
Part 3: Refrigerator Items
Part 4: Freezer Items

As with all of the lists, these items are what I stock. You should stock based on your preferences. Some of them will be used regularly in Add Salt & Serve meal plans (like cooked ground beef, cooked chicken, and cooked onions), but some are just items to keep on hand for use outside of the meal plans, like frozen vegetables for soups and side dishes. Stock what you use, not what I use.
