I am trying to perfect these myself.

I will take a roast and cook it with mushroom soup, a pack of brown
gravy mix, and a half a pack of dried onion soup. Because veggies
don't do as well nuked I don't add them. I then put enough for a
sandwich in each freezer bag. The gravy it makes is so good over rice.
I never tried to freeze the gravy.

Hamburger helper, taco meat, chili, and sloppy Joe's are good. You can
freeze spaghetti and meat sauce in individual portions as well

Press everything flat in the freezer bag before freezing and when you
nuke it you can just cut the bag off with scissors. Put on the plate
and cover it with wax paper. I use a 5-6 min setting with 60% power.
Straight from the freezer to the recliner.
