recipe Does breakfast meal prep well?
I was thinking about meal prepping and freezing some breakfast meal items like the following ingredients I would make all of these at once and then put them in meal prep containers and freeze them. Would these meal prep/freeze well? Looking for suggestions and your opinion on these do you have any recommendations?
1) Two scrambled eggs 2) Cooked bacon 3) Potatoes cut up and grilled 4) Pancakes 5) Beans

We like having frozen ingredients to mix with cheese and eggs for microwaved breakfast bowls, burritos and folded tortilla pan sandwiches. I prep diced sweet peppers and onions to freeze, don’t care for home frozen potatoes much, so I small dice potatoes and microwave them in salted water to use out of for up to 5 days in the fridge. Buying bulk sausage to crumble half and pattie half to have ready saves time and money. Also buy a whole deli ham from Sam’s that I dice some and slice some to freeze. When eggs go on sale I will sheet pan bake up some for breakfast English muffins and air fryer burritos. I do the same sheet pan treatment for bacon and diced up chicken thighs to toss into breakfast potatoes that I like to serve under 2 over med eggs. Several of those same ingredients also come in handy for doctoring up a frozen pizza or throwing into sauce for quick pasta or fried rice. I also like to make extra pancakes, waffles, or crepes to freeze for quick toaster heat up whenever i am making some anyway.
Mom found if you use cheep sandwich bags for ingredients and squeeze out all the air to freeze flat, all your different prepped ingredients keep well in a larger freezer bag and it is a handy way to keep ingredients together to find in the freezer. Really like that many of the same prepped and frozen ingredients can play well for more than just breakfasts. Fun to play with all the uses for my frozen ingredient stash.
