I love a stocked freezer!

A couple of weeks ago we had friends over for dinner and for some reason I thought 7 people needed 400 cups of rice. Haha, so I used the leftover rice and added a few other Mexican-ish things and froze a casserole to use later.
This is layered rice, beans, corn, cilantro and green onion with enchilada sauce. I heated up servings and put it in either flour tortillas or on corn tostadas. It turned out pretty good, but the enchilada sauce I used was SO spicy! The kids mostly just ate the tortillas, but this made enough for our dinner and lunch the next day and then some. 

I love using even small amounts of leftovers and turning them into something else. Right now I have individual serving bags of lentil soup and potato soup, and another casserole like this. So on a rushed morning or a night when I just don't have the energy to cook, I can grab one of those. Woo hoo!
