Freezer Meals (Mostly Crockpot)

My daughter and I spent an hour and half prepping meals today to fill our freezer. Here is what we did:
Chicken Teriyaki
Pork Loin Teriyaki (used the same ingredients - teriyaki marinade, broccoli, carrots & pineapple, then added pork to one, chicken to the other)
Chicken Tacos
Beef Tacos (onion, peppers, salsa - one with chicken and one with browned ground beef)
Shredded Roast Pork (BBQ sauce, can of cola)
Pineapple Skirt Steak (pineapple, olive oil, lime, garlic and soy sauce)
2 bags of meat sauce
While she chopped and put together the most of the bags, I browned ground beef for tacos, meat sauce and lasagna, browned sausage for sauce and lasagna, cooked the sauce and put together the lasagna.

We labeled the bags and will just pull one out and pop in the crock pot when needed. I can't believe how easy it was with 2 of us doing it together and how much we got done. Yeah!

  1. Sounds wonderful and a great use of your time and fun to have a helper. Can you link any of the recipes for me?
    The chicken and pork you just put in the package uncooked. I might have to rethink my crock pot party menu.

  3. You can mix uncooked meat and veggies together? I didn't know that.

  4. Regina, can I have your lasagna recipe? Mine is always hit-or-miss, and I've been hankering for it lately. I'd like a good recipe.

  6. Bridget, most of it wasn't recipes so much. I put the ingredients (listed next to the dishes) into the freezer bags.
    The convenience was great. I didn't love the teriyaki ones, I felt the broccoli got mushy, but the rest of the family seemed fine with it. Kate, I wish I had a standard lasagna recipe that I used, but I will find the one I did this past time, because it probably was the best lasagna I had ever made.
