31. Cooking in Bulk

One way to save time and money is to do bulk cooking. We have a couple of dishes that we make in bulk and then divide up and freeze for future meals.

1. Breakfast burritos:

1. 36-Large flour tortillas
2. 36-Large Eggs
3. 4 pounds of breakfast sausage
4. 2 large bags of frozen tater tots
5. 2 large onions (white or yellow)
6. 4 large tomatoes
7. large bag of frozen green chile - thawed
8. 8 cups of shredded mexi blend cheese
9. 2-Tbsp of olive oil
10. Plastic Wrap
11. Freezer Storage
