    A couple of times every winter I make 6 hour tomato sauce and a double batch of meatballs:

    Those are my favorites! Also, it’s in The Wok not online, but Kenji’s pepperoni XO sauce doesn’t need to be frozen, it keeps a long time in the fridge and you can toss a couple spoonfuls on top of noodles for a nice quick meal

    The black bean burgers, anything soup/broth based

    The chicken chile verde! Although I’ve modified it somewhat (I don’t have a pressure cooker, and I usually add a can or two of white beans at the end)

    Edit: I just remembered I made [these black beans](https://www.seriouseats.com/the-lazy-cooks-black-beans-easy-recipe) recently too. They’re very simple, but I froze them in portions and also froze some portions of a simple Mexican rice, and it made for great burrito bowls.

    Soup!! Kenji has some 30 minute soup recipes that are stellar! Tuscan white bean (might not be the exact name, don’t feel like looking) is my favorite. I add chicken thighs to it. Yummo.
