Yum, shepherd's pie, lol. That's something I hadn't thought of, thank you! I love stew, but was a bit worried about the potatoes, unless like you said I don't cook them all the way. Thanks.

Hi, Joy, If you want to freeze stew, my experience has been that potatoes don't freeze well; they become mushy. Mashed potatoes will freeze, on something like Shepherd's pie. But if you want to freeze stew, I would suggest omitting the potatoes and adding them later. Macaroni and cheese, spaghetti sauce, chili and soups are also good things to freeze. Chicken pot pie would be another winner. I would suggest making a lasagna, by cooking the noodles part way, putting it together, and freezing before baking. This will prevent the pasta from getting sticky or mushy. Hope this helps.
