Crock Pot Freezer Meal Golden Chicken & Noodles

The crock pot freezer meals I made a few weeks ago are running out. =(  I have another list of some that I want to try, but it will probably be a few more weeks before I get them all prepared.  Today's recipe is golden chicken & noodles. I made this the other day, but we ended up going shopping and just ate dinner out so I threw it into the fridge and just warmed it up the next night. It was delicious.

4-5 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

 10 3/4 oz can broccoli cheese soup

1 Cup milk

1 tsp salt

1 tsp basil

1 tsp pepper

On cooking day, just dump bag into crock pot and cook on low for 5-7 hours.

Cook pasta al dente' and mix in before serving. 

Crock Pot Freezer Meal Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Ready for another crock pot freezer meal? This recipe was delicious. The broccoli was in smaller pieces so it was easily hidden from the kiddos and I so we ate it with no complaining.

1 ½ pounds chicken breasts

1 (16 oz) bag frozen broccoli florets

2 (16 oz) jars Alfredo sauce
pasta (on cooking day, do not freeze)

To freezer, just put all ingredients (except pasta) in a gallon freezer bag. 

On cooking day, thaw for 24 hours ahead of time.  Pour into crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Cook pasta al dente and mix in before serving.

8 oz frozen corn

1 can black beans

1 can pinto beans

taco seasoning (on cooking day)

To freeze, just mix all ingredients and pour into gallon freezer bag.

Crock Pot Freezer Meals- Part 2

I'm back for part 2 of Crock Pot Freezer meal recipes. I did part one last year and it was amazing. It was so nice to just grab a bag from the freezer and toss it in the crock pot and continue with the rest of my day.

This time around I gathered 5 recipes to try out. I try to find recipes that have similar ingredients so it cuts down on my grocery spending. Then I just space them out when eating them so we're not eating chicken 6 days in a row.  Here's what I made-

Creamy Ranch Pork Chops & Potatoes

Tortilla Soup

Bean Tater Tot Casserole

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Golden Chicken & Noodles

*Edit* Since I was using my crock pot almost every day for a week, I bought these Reynold's Slow Cooker Liners.   It was so nice to just put the leftovers away, grab the liner, toss it in the trash and not have to wash the crock pot every night. 

Crock Pot Tuscan Soup

Usually anything that is able to be made in the crock pot gets pinned on my Pinterest board. I love using my crock pot.  I don't make too many soups, but I'm so glad I decided to make this one.

One (12-ounce) package of turkey or chicken sausage, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, chopped

3 celery stalks, chopped

4 cups kale, stems removed, & leaves chopped 

3 cups chicken broth

One can red kidney beans, rinsed & drained

One can great Northern beans, rinsed & drained

One can Italian seasoned diced tomatoes

1/2 cup water

1 tsp. dried basil

Put all above ingredients into crock pot and mix together.  Cook on low 8-10 hours or until veggies are tender. 

Crock Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

With Marley being back in school it puts us on a schedule that we totally lacked over the summer.  Mason takes an almost three hour nap every day so I get lots done, but once Marley gets home from school the pressure is on. Finish homework, make dinner, baths, bedtime routine all in 4 hours. It can be a lot.  Relying on my crockpot saves the day a lot of time.  This recipe was thrown together during nap time and ready at dinner time so we could stay on schedule.

2 lbs of frozen hashbrowns, thawed

2 lbs of ground beef, browned and drained

10 oz of bacon bits, real bacon

2 c of milk

3 c of cheddar cheese, shredded

3 T of butter, melted

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Pour into crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours.

It was really good even though it's presentation isn't very pretty. 

Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken & Rice

I've had this recipe pinned on pinterest for a while. It's really simple to make and if you find a good sale on chicken it can be very inexpensive too.

1 cup cheddar cheese

1 can whole kernel corn, drained

BBQ Cola Crock Pot Chicken

Now that it's summer I've been looking for some good crock pot recipes so I don't have to turn on the oven, thus turning on the air conditioning. It's a vicious cycle.  This recipe was super quick to throw together and was apparantly quick to be eaten too because I didn't even get a chance to get a picture. OOPS! 

Chicken

1 bottle of bbq sauce

1 onion, cut into quarters

12 ounces of coke

Place chicken and onion in bottom of crock pot. Pour bbq sauce and coke over top. 

Cover and cook on high for 6-8 hours. 

We just ate our chicken pieces whole, but you could also shred them and serve them on buns. 

Crock Pot Pepperoni Chicken

Chicken Breasts

Pepperoni

Diced onion
