A packed fall week leaves little room for starting every meal from scratch. These 15 make-ahead recipes cover breakfasts, dinners, sides, sliders, and a brownie tray, with options that can be assembled early, refrigerated, frozen, or reheated when the schedule gets tight. Several are built specifically for overnight prep, while others hold well for a few days or freeze in portions. Do the longer work before the week fills up, then lean on the fridge, freezer, or slow cooker when mealtime arrives.
