Crock Pot Freezer Meal Tortilla Soup

I'm back sharing my second recipe from my crock pot freezer meals I prepared last week.  This recipe was pretty good, but it was more of a chili consistency than soup. Either way it was good.

1 lb ground turkey

1 can crushed tomatoes

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.

On cooking day, add one cup water, taco seasoning to taste and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until turkey is completely cooked. 

Crock Pot Freezer Meal Creamy Ranch Pork Chops & Potatoes

On Friday I posted about part two of crock pot freezer meals. Here's the first recipe we tried out. It was really good. Let me know what you think if you try it out.

1 1/2 pounds boneless pork chops

3-4 medium potatoes, chopped in large pieces (I sliced mine)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 packet ranch powder mix

1/2 cup milk

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

On cooking day, just thaw for 24 hours before putting in crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. 

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. 

Sloppy Joe Tater Tot Casserole

Here's another recipe that is inexpensive, quick to throw together and the kids will also like it.

1 lb ground beef

1 can sloppy joe sauce

16 oz frozen tater tots

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Brown ground beef and drain. Mix in sloppy joe sauce and simmer. 

Pour the meat into the bottom of a baking dish. Top with cheese.  Spread tots in a single layer on top.  Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until tots are browned.
