Freezer Meal Recipe, Chicken-Cheese-Rice Casserole

I've been thinking of trying some freezer meals and I've been pinning like crazy! I have also started couponing again and decided to try a casserole tonight because I had coupons for a lot of the ingredients. Justin's preference for food is 100% opposite of mine so we really have to compromise on dinner selections. He cooks more than I do normally and there are a handful of recipes that have been a 'hit' with him. We were raised differently when it comes to cooking styles. His family cooks lots of spicy foods and my family cooked more traditional meals.

 

This recipe turned out really good and was easy. I ended up making a casserole for dinner tonight that fed 4 adults and 1 child and I had enough to freeze 3 one quart bags for future use.
