Here are 31 crockpot freezer recipes that are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. I’ve tried almost every single one myself and can vouch that they’re delicious too. Simply combine the ingredients in gallon-sized plastic baggies and freeze for busy weeknights.
If you’re new to crockpot freezer meals, here’s what’s so great about them:
- They can be assembled and frozen without any cooking ahead of time.
- They cook for the first time out of the freezer and don’t taste like leftovers at all.
- They last for at least three months in a standard freezer so you can take advantage of sales at the grocery store and stock your kitchen at a fraction of the cost.
My new Slow Cooker Freezer Meals mini eCookbook will walk you through the process of stocking your freezer with healthy, homemade meals (and all of the recipe are gluten-free or easy to adapt!).
Below, you’ll find 31 crockpot freezer meals that are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. They’re also healthy, delicious, and easy to make. If you’re preparing these meals for someone with food allergies, please make sure to read every ingredient’s food label – gluten and dairy can be hidden in foods that you wouldn’t expect (like pasta sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar).
I recommend serving these meals with simple sides dishes, like rice and steamed broccoli or a salad. Enjoy!

Are these gluten free recipes in your bundle?
Thanks, Karen
I don’t think so. I rarely share recipes from my books for free on my site. There are probably a lot of recipes in my books that are naturally gluten-free though. Crockpot recipes with meat and veggies taste great.
Thank you so much! this is a great alternative!
what size crockpot do you use?
I own a bunch of them, but I use my 6-quart crockpot most often because it has a timer. It cooks quickly, so it would correspond with the lower end of the recommended cooking times.
Hi Kelly, I am wondering if you have a version of the balsamic beef that would work for pork. I try to limit my beef intake to once or twice a month (for health concerns) and with just 2 people in the house that amount of beef would exceed my monthly “allowance” 🙂 It doesn’t have to be just balsamic or carrots. I’m just hoping you have a suggestion on what else would work with balsamic and pork.
I’m off to make the pork and cranberry sauce! YUM!
Thanks in advance,
Rachel
I think you could easily substitute pork in the recipe. No need to make any changes.
do you have a gluten free meatball recipe? the recipes that this site points to uses italian bread crumbs, which are not naturally gluten free. I’d really love a gf meatball recipe.
I can’t think of a good recipe off the top of my head so I would probably find a gluten-free substitute for the breadcrumbs in the link. Sorry about that.
I like to use almond flour with italian seasonings instead of breadcrumbs.
How about potato flakes?
I often use quinoa flakes in place of bread crumbs. Maybe that would work…?
Yes, you can. Or panko (rice).
Sounds neat! Rj
Unfortunately panko is made from white bread without crusts, not rice, and therefore not gluten free.
There is gluten free panko.
Panko isn’t rice. It’s just a Japanese style of wheat breadcrumbs. Always read the lables!
Most Panko is wheat.
Use oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs. Or gluten free bread toted and crumbled.
Meant to say toasted or dried gluten free bread crumbled.
I use shredded finely carrots as a binder in our meatballs! Works great!
I have seen gluten-free Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, but I can’t remember by whom or in what store I saw them… Schär makes regular GF breadcrumbs that I use often and work just fine…
They make gluten free bread crumbs, I found some at walmart.
I have seen gf bread crumbs , I think at Walmart. But not every store carries them. Have also seen gf bread crumbs by Texas Toast brand.
You can leave them out. I’ve done that before & they taste great. They are actually moister than with the breadcrumbs but you can buy gf breadcrumbs, I’ve gotten 4C brand for the seasoned but Amy’s makes an excellent gf panko breadcrumbs that I’ve gotten at Giant.
I agree. I never use any breadcrumbs or eggs in my meatballs and they come out great.
We like this one. http://draxe.com/recipe/gluten-free-baked-meatballs-recipe/ (I don’t use kefir in mine & they are fine. )
Fit Men Cook has a gluten free BBQ meatball recipe that uses chopped spinach. He also has a youtube channel that shows him making them.

Hi. My brother makes killer gluten free meatballs. He just uses gluten free “breadcrumbs”.
I always use very small organic Tapioca in place of bread crumbs for meatballs and meatloaf actually any ground meat, it works very well then use your italian seasonings
Substitute quick cooking gf oats or instant gf mashed potatoes instead of the bread crumbs. And adjust spices as desired.
Hi Kathy! For gf meatballs, subtitute in gf breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning. Or you can process gf oats to breadcrumb consistency and add the seasoning.
Find me on Facebook at Eat&Play Fitness witb Andre VanBeusichem and I can help you make recipes gf!
Use rice in your meatballs….it is delicious!!!
I have use GF oatmeal or grits in replacement of breadcrumb. I also use mase(corn flour).
There is a brand called 4C crumbs gluten free plain. That is what I use and ten I add a lot of Italian seasoning’s grind it up finer. The other thing i do is grind it up finer in my magic bullet prior to adding the seasoning, it sticks better. thees out great every time
You can buy Italian flavored GF bread crumbs. I use them all the time. Especially with chicken parm. I have a pretty rough allergy to Gluten .
Use instant mashed potatoe flakes in place of bread crumbs for gluten free
Kelley, great idea!
I use crushed corn Chex instead of breadcrumbs
You could use gf panko crumbs.
Gluten Free oatmeal. That’s what my friend uses to make her meatloaf!
The chicken teriyaki one isn’t gluten free either, as it uses regular soy sauce.
I use corn grits as a thickener when making meat loaf, meat balls, etc. Grits work well and gluten free grits are usually easy to find.
I use mushroom powder.
I have to keep a close eye on my sodium leverls,is there very much sodium in these recipes?
I’m not 100% sure. At this time I’m only able to calculate the nutritional info for the recipes in my eCookbooks. It takes me a LONG time to calculate it so I can’t do it for all of the free recipes on my site.
Lisa, you can import her recipe into the Cronometer app and it will give you a full nutritional breakdown. Even for vitamins and minerals. And yes sodium is listed as well. It’s pretty sweet and so fast. I use it frequently.
So, as example, I just imported real fast the first recipe on her list, the cherry pork one and Cronometer gave me 156.9mg Sodium. I hope this helps.
