If the recipe doesn’t contain freezer directions, simply combine all of the ingredients in a gallon-sized plastic freezer bag and lay flat in your freezer. SO EASY.
When you’re ready to eat, thaw the frozen meal in your refrigerator overnight. In the morning, place it in your crockpot and add 1-2 hours of additional cooking time if the meal isn’t totally thawed. Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing our Pineapple Beef Teriyaki in your crockpot recipe roundup! They all look delish!
Every recipe that I’ve tried from your website has been fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
We bought a crockpot oh like 2 years ago, and it’s never ever been used. I’ve only looked at a few of these recipes so far and I’m already trying to remember where I put that thing. What a neat idea
If you can’t find it, but a new one. They’re cheap and crockpot meals are so delicious!
Can’t wait to try these! So happy there’s a pin it button now, instead of saving to office!
Yay! Thanks, Julz!
Hey,
Nice meals. I’m a college student and currently cook my lunches in advance for 2 or three days depending on how busy I’m going to be. However, it would be great to have raw meals frozen to use for dinner for the same days. I do have a question, normally crockpot meals take around 8 hours to cook, is it possible (and if so, how) to take this out the fridge, put it in a crockpot or regular pot and eat within an hour (max two)?
Yes, you can cook thawed soups and chilis that way. I’ve also made my crockpot chicken fajitas in a pan on my stovetop.
I would like to know where i can get the book with the shopping list, freezer recipes and the labels for my slow cooker.
Both of these books have those three things (including the labels that you can print on Avery Stickers):
