Frozen dinner has never tasted so good! Turn to this cook ahead, freezer-friendly meal to help you put a homemade “fast food” meal on the table in minutes during stressful or busy times when cooking from scratch just isn’t feasible. Red snapper lends excellent flavor to this hearty stew though you could use cod to save a few dollars if you don’t mind a softer texture. To jump-start the thawing process, place the stew in refrigerator the night before you plan to reheat it. Pair this cozy dish with some bagged salad greens and your favorite dressing for super simple meal.
