Two cooks. One oven, the PossibleCooker, the Foodi Grill, the stovetop. Times start at 4:00 PM, Saturday, October 3.

  1. 4:00 · Stew in. Sear the beef in batches in the PossibleCooker, then onion, garlic, paste, deglaze, potatoes, carrots, stock. Slow Cook HIGH by 4:45. It's done around 9:00. Cook 2: freezer to coldest; if the bananas are green, oven-ripen them now (300°F, skins on, 15–20 min); peel and chunk the potatoes and carrots for the stew first.
  2. 4:30 · Prep station (Cook 2). All the onions (2 chunky for stew, 2 fine for lasagna and peppers), all 20 garlic cloves, halve and seed the 6 peppers, dice the chicken apple sausage. Bowls for each.
  3. 4:45 · Stovetop meat. Brown all 2 lb ground beef in one big skillet and the sweet Italian sausage in another. Drain, split the beef in half. Onion and garlic into each.
  4. 5:00 · Oven to 375°F. Lasagna sauce simmers 15 min. Meanwhile: microwave the rice pouch and the pepper halves (3 min), mix the pepper filling, blend the cottage cheese layer in the Ninja blender.
  5. 5:20 · Build both pans. Lasagna layers and stuffed peppers. Both into the oven by 5:40 (peppers out about 6:15, lasagna out about 6:45).
  6. 5:40 · Burritos while the oven runs. Bacon on Air Crisp in the Foodi Grill; sausage and hash browns in the skillet; soft-scramble the 2 dozen eggs in two rounds. Spread everything on sheet pans to cool 20 min.
  7. 6:15 · Croissants while the fillings cool. Split, cheese, ham, parchment. 20 minutes, no cooking. Peppers come out now.
  8. 6:35 · Roll the burritos. One meat at a time, parchment-wrap, onto a sheet pan. First freezer load: burritos and croissants.
  9. 6:45 · Lasagna out, muffins in. Oven stays at 375°F. Soak the oats, mix the banana batch, bake (12 in the pan plus 12 silicone cups on a sheet pan). Mix blueberry while it bakes, bake second round. Done about 8:00.
  10. 8:00 · Clean and chill. Lasagna, peppers and muffins cool, then into the fridge. Muffins flash-freeze on a sheet pan for an hour.
  11. 9:00 · Stew finish. Peas and butter for 10 min, mash a few potatoes, taste. Into shallow pans, fridge overnight.
  12. Sunday morning · Seal everything. Cut the cold lasagna into 8 squares, portion the stew 3 cups a bag and freeze flat, then vacuum seal in rounds of about 10 lb.
