A couple of weeks ago it occurred to me that instead of focusing so much on freezer meals for dinner, I should do some breakfast freezer meals too.
We are so busy in the mornings that having a go-to meal in the freezer for breakfast would take a lot of the stress out of my day. The first thing I thought of was breakfast burritos. My husband LOVES breakfast burritos and so do my boys. They are easy for the boys to hold and eat and my husband is a burrito fanatic. Here is what I did…

Hi Jodi! You absolutely can cook all the ingredients together if you are going to make just a single type of burrito. I often will make a “hash” where I fry the potatoes and meat and then scramble the eggs in the same pan. Throw in some cheese and voila! The reason I showed the assembly line was to illustrate how you can make a variety of breakfast burritos at a time. Hope this helps and thanks for visiting Mom On Timeout!
Jodi says
Found these on Pinterest and made up a batch yesterday! It took about 2 hours for me from start to finish, but I’m slow in the kitchen. I was wondering if there would be a reason why I couldn’t scramble the meat and potatoes in with the eggs to avoid some of the assembly line steps?
Sandile says
They sound absolutely delicious, and well worth the effort.

Thanks for the great idea. My MIL always made freezer burritos when we were younger, I hadn’t generalized the idea to breakfast burritos though. My Hubby will love these. Thanks! – Jess at OlyMomma

This is GENIUS. Thanks for sharing!! I have a hard time eating first thing in the morning but if I already had done most of the work it would make getting that “most important meal of the day” down much easier.
MomOnTimeout says
Definitely give them a try – the burritos are such a great time-saver in the morning and not to mention super yummy!
