Here’s a recipe for Slow Cooker Thai Pineapple Curry that’s absolutely delicious. I can’t count the number of times that I’ve made it recently – probably five times in two months! The combination of spicy and sweet can’t be beat, and I love that it’s healthy too.

I like to assemble my meals and freeze them for later (The directions below will walk you through the process step-by-step). You don’t have to do any cooking ahead of time, so the meals are super quick to prep and there’s nothing easier than dumping a meal into your slow cooker in the morning. Plus, the meals cook for the first time out of the freezer and don’t taste like leftovers at all. Yay!
While I love having assembled dinners waiting in my freezer, there’s no reason why you can’t skip the freezing step and place all of the ingredients directly into your slow cooker instead. Enjoy!

I just found your website and love it! I’m excited to get started with crock pot freezer meals! I just have one question for you first before I get started. I just recently purchased a food saver, and as I was reading the instructions, it said not to vacuum seal raw mushrooms, onions, and garlic and then freeze because bacteria could grow even without oxygen in the bags. Is it OK to vacuum and freeze these ingredients raw as long as they are cooked when you are ready to use them? A lot of the crock pot recipes that I… Read more »
I’ve never heard that recommendation before. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service says that freezing to 0 degrees F inactivates microbes present in food (like bacteria, yeasts, and molds). The standard freezer setting in the United States is 0 °F so I think we should be fine.
Loved it, as did my husband. We’ve been searching for solid meatless recipes, and this is, hands down, one of the best slow cooker dishes I’ve ever tried, period. Thank you, Kelly, for the recipe.
Yay! I’m so glad, Kris. 🙂
