They worked great!! We ate out for breakfast and lunch, but for dinner we had a hot, home-cooked meal - without the mess! I look forward to doing this again as it was such a big success. If anyone has more TV dinner ideas, please share.

Well, I didn't get any fresh ideas, but here is what I came up with:

I cooked brown rice, cream soup with muchrooms, black eye peas, and chicken. I put the rice in the large compartment and the chicken on top of the rice. Then I covered the rice and chicken with the cream soup. In one small compartment I put the black eye peas and in the other small compartment I put frozen broccoli. I sealed each container up in a zip-loc bag and placed in freezer. We'll see how they do!

For meal #2 I put rice in one of the small compartments and chicken in the other small compartment. In the large compartment I placed frozen stir-fry mix with a teriyaki sauce. Zip-loced and froze.

We leave tomorrow for our trip so I will let you know how they did!

I found these nifty tin tv dinner trays at a discount store and really want to freeze some meals in them for our upcoming RV trip. Any ideas????

It has three compartments: 1 large, 2 small. I have frozen meals before, so that doesn't worry me, but its the balance I am looking for. I need three things that will heat at the same tempeture and time. Here are the ideas I came up with:

Chicken and Rice, bread roll, and broccoli.

Lasagna, green beans, and bread roll.

Chicken pot pie, bread roll, and black eye peas.

????? What do you think?
