Crockpot Freezer Meals
I am LOVING cooking with my crockpot! Ever since I stumbled upon the blog A Year of Slow Cooking over a year ago it has changed our lives!
Sure I knew you could cook a roast, ribs or a whole chicken in the crockpot before that site but now our variety has greatly increased! I love using it so much that we normally use it for meals 1-2 times a week.
And of course when I stumbled upon Crockpot freezer meals on Pinterest I could hardly believe my luck, and even EASIER way to use the crockpot?!?! I couldn't wait to try it out!
So after a trip to the commissary I kept out the items to freeze for 2 Crockpot Freezer meals...and I was even more surprised when I found that it only took 5 mins to throw them together to freeze...that's my kinda cooking!
I made BBQ Chicken & Teriyaki Chicken, of course adapted for our peculiar likes/dislikes :)
I started with 2 gallon sized Ziploc bags and wrote the name of each meal on the bag with a Sharpie. For the BBQ chicken I threw in 4 chicken breasts (already frozen so no prep needed, yipee!), a largely cut onion (so I can dig out all the pieces before we eat it) and 1 large bottle of BBQ sauce. Sealed it and threw in freezer...too easy I tell ya! For the Teriyaki Chicken I put in 3 chicken breasts (also already frozen), 1 can of pineapple chunks (undrained), large cuts of red onion, 2 chopped garlic cloves (I used the already chopped ones in a jar), and 1 cup of teriyaki sauce.
Now all I need to do is throw them in the crockpot when needed and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, I'm loving it!
Since I go shopping for groceries/meals every 2 weeks I think I'm going to start doing this after every trip that way I'll have 4-5 meals in the freezer ready to go until the next shopping trip!
