My wife uses a larger one a few times a year. i weighed one at 15# and
it fed a lot of people. I can understand not making it for just
yourself though, but it does freeze well.

Sounds good, the right way to do it.

When I was working I'd buy the Stouffer's brand for lunch once in a
while and it was enough for two of us. Not bad for frozen but nothing
at all like homemade.

Invite a friend or two for dinner and make one. Freeze the rest for
future meals. Worth the effort, IMO.
