And both of those freeze pretty well.

Same here, at least for making a gallon or so. But it doesn't seem to take that much time, as I'm chopping up everything while the beef is browning, then everything gets dumped into the pot for slow-cooking. And all of this takes place while I'm watching a game that's not so good anyway, so it's not really time sensitive, much less wasted. When it's dinner time, the longest anything takes is the cornbread or pasta prep, neither of which is not that long. Now I'm hungry ;-)
