Freezer Crock Pot Meal Prep Day- TAKE TWO
My first try at Freezer Crock Pot Meals was such a hit,
with hundreds of pin and repins..
I thought I would share again my second try at it!
Seems like a lot of us are wanting to make
grocery shopping/cooking/meal planning easier!
By shopping at both Aldi's and Giant Eagle this week
I was able to get the price per meal to under $4!
Here's the list of recipes I made up this past week:
Click to be taken to original recipe I used (my documents with the recipes are changed a little)
Pulled Pork (based off this recipe...
my version is in the file to download below)
You can download the RECIPES HERE featuring what to write on each Freezer Bag!
(use sharpie and write on bag BEFORE you fill them up.
knowing what to put on them ahead of time makes it so much quicker!)
and my categorized GROCERY LIST can be downloaded HERE
Not sure yet how these all cook up..some are new ones.. let me know what you think!
And thanks for trying it out with me :)
(PS. My favorite is the chicken and dumplings...
I cook it for 2 hours on high and then 30 or so minutes with the biscuits dropped in!)
You can also check out my First Try at this money and time saving project HERE for
more info and other recipes! (downloadable grocery and recipe list)
MY NOTES ON MY FIRST TRY AT FREEZER CROCK POT MEALS.
** LOVE the Chicken and Dumplings..always have. that's why I'm doubling it this time.
**not a fan of the chicken and rice.
**red potatoes turned brown only in ONE of the recipes.. wierd. So this time I put the potatoes in a seperate freezer bag to do a little trial..and see if they turn brown or not. if they do..I'll just throw in some fresh when it's time.
**Pulled Pork last time was yummy to use for tacos.. but we really like it with barbecue the most. So I went ahead and poured in the Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue sauce right away this time. :) LOVEEE eating the barbecue pulled pork on tacos with cheese. it's delicious. trust me.

Do you leave your crock pot on when you're out of the house? I want to try some of these but worry about leaving the crockpot on when I'm gone for 8 hours to work.
I loved the beef barley stew last time! The guinness stew looks delicious. I'll have to give it a try later this month.
Great Idea, Thank you...
Did your family like the Chicken Tortilla Soup? I really want to make it but Im nervous by 2 year old will just spit it out haha.
Hi Natalie,
You have a beautiful family!!!! Other then that thank you sooo much for the freezer tips. The Hillbilly House Wife had a book at the time called: Freezer Cooking made Simple, with that said freezer cooking is the way to go!!!! Hands Down! Thanks again, and I'll definitely spread the word!If your interested in more crock pot recipe please have you & your friends stop by www.crockpotking.com, and feel free to roam around I have a ton of recipes!
I didn't like that the potatoes turn brown either. I started wrapping them in aluminum foil super tight so the other ingredients can't get in. I season them first based on the dish and add a tablespoon of water. The best is to put whole potatoes wrapped individually on top of a roast 6-8 hrs you have baked potatoes with you meal! I have even done carrots as well to add a veggie.
