How long will it last in the freezer?

I always try to date my food with a sharpie, but that doesn't do much good without this handy chart!

FOOD — MONTHS IN FREEZER

Ground Beef — 3-4 months

Uncooked roasts — 8-12 months

Uncooked poultry — 9-12 months

Soups/Stews — 2-3 months

Casseroles — 2-3 months

Meat Balls/Meatloaf — 2-3 months

Bread — 1-2 months

Hot Dogs/Lunch Meat (opened or unopened) — 1-2 months

Bacon/Sausage (opened or unopened) — 1-2 months

Ice Cream (opened) — 1-2 months

Fresh Vegetables/Fruits* — 5-6 months
(*fresh produce loses original texture with freezing for any amount of time. Best used for soups, stews, or in blended mixtures.)
