Creamy Italian Chicken Crock Pot Freezer Meal

Back for another freezer meal.  If you're not going to freeze it all you have to do is dump all the ingredients into the crock pot. If you are going to freeze it, just dump all ingredients into a freezer bag and freeze. On cooking day just thaw it out and pour it into crock pot. Super easy!


4-6 chicken breasts
8 ounces cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 packet italian dressing powder mix

Dump all ingredients into crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Crock Pot Italian Chicken Freezer Meal

Back for another crock pot freezer meal that I prepared back in June.

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
16 oz bottle italian dressing
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
4-6 diced potatoes
1/2 bag baby carrots



Just toss all ingredients into the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours. If preparing to freeze, just put them all in a gallon size freezer bag and freeze, then when you want to cook it just thaw it a little and toss it in.




Super easy to make and very delicious!

Crock pot Freezer Meal Chicken Tacos

It's time for another freezer meal.  This time it's Crockpot Chicken Tacos.  After dinner Mike said these are the best tacos ever!


1 packets taco seasoning
1 jar salsa
6-8 chicken breasts (I used small chicken breasts and used 7 and it made enough for about 10 tacos)

Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6.  Remove chicken and shred, return to crock pot for a few more minutes before serving.




Since I made mine before and froze it, I just tossed it all in the bag and froze it.  Then just put it in the fridge to thaw overnight and poured it into the crock pot. Super easy!

Chicken Taco Chili Crock Pot Freezer Meal

I'm finally back with another one of my freezer meals.  When I assembled all my meals I ran out of chicken, so I just froze it without and made a note on the bag to add chicken before cooking.

1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can corn
16 oz tomato sauce
28 oz diced tomatoes
1 packet taco seasoning
1 tbsp chili powder
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Toss it all in the crock pot. Cover and cook on high for 8 hours or low for 12 hours.

Shred chicken before serving.

BBQ Pineapple Pulled Pork Crock Pot Freezer Meal

Back with another crock pot freezer meal. This recipe scared me a little because I've never cooked a pork shoulder. I usually only make pork chops. If we want pulled pork I just buy the containers of it premade.

4-6 pound pork shoulder
all purpose seasoning
1 bottle bbq sauce
15 oz can pineapple, undrained


Dump it all in the crock pot and cook on high 6-8 hours or low 10-12.


 Shred pork and return to crock pot for 10 more minutes. Serve on burger buns.

To freeze it, just mix it all together in a freezer bag and lay flat to freeze.



It smelled amazing and tasted pretty darn good too.  It seemed a little tough and not as stringy as pulled pork at restaurants though, but still good.

Garlic Ranch Chicken Freezer Meal

This is another one of my freezer meals. It's not for the crock pot like the others, but I'm sure you could cook it in the crock pot on low for 4-6 hours and it would come out perfectly.

4 chicken breasts
1 packet ranch dressing powder
1 cup milk
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp dry minced garlic

Grill chicken on grill over low-medium flame until chicken is no longer pink.





Since I was freezing mine, I just mixed it all together in a freezer bag and froze it. I pulled it out in the morning to thaw and just cooked it up.

Cheddar Vegetable Sausage Casserole Crock Pot Freezer Meal

This recipe is one that I made the other day when I made all my crock pot freezer meals. It didn't last very long in the freezer, but it was nice to just pull it out, thaw it a little, and pour it in the crock pot.


10 ounces frozen vegetables
3 large diced potatoes
sausage
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Just mix it all up and put it in the crock pot on low for 8 hours. If it's not frozen then 6 hours should be good.



Since I was freezing mine, I just mixed everything together in a medium sized bowl then poured it into a freezer bag and froze it laying flat.




It was pretty tasty. It didn't end up looking how I imagined it would look, and I think for next time I want to try it with pasta instead of potatoes.

Crock Pot Freezer Meals

When we have nice weather we spend a lot of time outside. Before I know it, it's 8pm and I haven't even thought about dinner. I decided the other day to make up some freezer meals and since I can't start cooking at bed time, I decided to make some crock pot meals so that I could just throw them in and continue on with my day. I went shopping for all my ingredients and then when everyone was in bed I started assembling. It took me about 2 hours to put everything together and clean up so that's not bad at all.  I tried to pick recipes that were more summery and that the kids would also like so I didn't have to make 2 meals every day.  I searched on pinterest for a while and gathered up my 7 recipes from several different pages.

I made- 

I labeled all my freezer bags with what's inside and how long to cook them so I don't have to pull the recipe out when I decide to make them.  I also wrote any other notes like add water or shred chicken once cooked. After the bags were full I laid them flat to freeze. Once they're frozen I can stand them up in my deep freezer and they don't take up as much space this way.


I will post individual recipes and more pictures once I cook them up, but for now, do you have any good freezer meals to share?
