January 1, 2018 By: Briana Carter15 Comments

Slow Cooker Freezer Meals - 10 Slow Cooker Freezer Meals that take less than two hours to prepare. Save time and money with this easy meal prep technique and have delicious meals for your family.

If you’re not utilizing your freezer or slow cooker much, now is a great time to start. If you already are, then. you know how great freezer cooking is-hopefully you pick up some new recipes for your menu from this series. I have put together 10 Slow Cooker Freezer Meals that take less than 2 hours to prep and less than $70 for ingredients- I shopped at Walmart, if you shop the sales and use coupons, or have a lot of the ingredients on hand then your bill will be even less. I have included a few tips, and a shopping list for all 10 recipes for easy reference.

10 Slow Cooker Freezer Meals

  • Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
  • Taco Chili
  • Chicken & Sweet Potato Bake
  • Maple Bacon Pork Loin
  • Ham & Scalloped Potatoes
  • Sticky Chicken
  • Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf
  • Bourbon Chicken
  • Buffalo Meatballs
  • Turkey Chili

Slow Cooker Freezer Meal Tips

  • Before filling bags label with name of recipe, date, and cooking instructions if you like.
  • Press bags flat once filled to maximize freezer storage.
  • Set aside 2-3 uninterrupted hours to prep and bag freezer meals.
  • Prep meat and veggies all at once for all meals.
  • Work assembly line fashion to fill bags.
  • Double recipes and fill your freezer with 20 meals without adding much more time.
  • Cool meats completely before freezing
  • If you need to add something like rice, pasta, or canned veggies to your meal place a special basket in the pantry to hold them so they are not used up and ready to go with your freezer meal.
  • Attach frozen veggies or other items to freezer bag with a rubber band to keep them together.

Do you have a slow cooker that you love? When purchasing a slow cooker, think in terms of your own family – what size would you need to prepare meals for them? Will you be transporting the slow cooker? If so, purchase a slow cooker with a locking lid. You can also find slow cookers that have two different compartments which is convenient for making sides separately. I also love the idea of this Ninja 4-in-1 that can replace several small appliances! Slow cooker liners are a must for easy clean up!

    Awesome recipes! Thanks so much. Just bookmarked this page to add to my growing list of freezer-friendly recipes. I also recommend dumplings, as they are supposed to be cooked directly from being frozen so they are really convenient (and tasty).

    Makes me wish I had a slow cooker! I suppose I could do a lot of these in a stock pot. I may just try one or two of them.

    We use freezer meals in the crock pot almost every day in our house. With the season of life we are in, I don’t know how we would manage to get dinner made every night without them. I am always looking for new recipe ideas, so this is the perfect post for me. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a wonderful week!!
