Freezer Meals - Mashed Potatoes

Mashed Red Potatoes
Ingredients:

12 small red potatoes
6 slices bacon
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup 1% milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
1. Scrub and quarter potatoes. Do not peel. Cook in salted, boiling water until tender.
2. Cut bacon in 1-inch pieces and cook until almost crisp.
3. Drain potatoes and leave in pan.  
4. Add butter, milk, salt and pepper. Beat on medium speed until throughly mixed and slightly lumpy. Stir in bacon.
Makes 6 servings.
Too freeze, put into freezer gallon bag ( I love Ziplock brand, they don't melt, off brands will start to deform and melt when microwaved), squeeze all the air out, and seal.  Put it freezer and when ready to use, microwave on 50% power until warmed, kneading bag every few minutes.  Be careful, bag will be HOT, and watch so it doesn't melt! 

Oven stew tops this dish perfectly, and makes for one complete meal!
