Hey all! I’m looking for your favorite recipes or websites for freezer friendly meals. My schedule gets really hectic and I’ve noticed some days that I don’t even get the time to put together a slow cooker meal. That has led us into a habit of delivery, which is very convenient, but also very expensive. So I’m determined to have a few sets of meals in the freezer to choose from at any given time. Your favorites and advice to build this habit are welcome!

    Freezer friendly:
    Freeze beans. Freeze white rice. Have some meatballs portioned and frozen, falafel too, canned tuna, pasta gets done in less than 6minutes. Make some tomato sauce and Freeze it portioned so you can thaw it while the pasta gets done, along with the meatballs. There you go. Also, rice and beans combined make for a filling protein packed meal and you can add eggs, tuna, or anything you want. These are just some ideas . Hope it helps!

    I got a good deal on 80 percent lean hamburger this week. I made a huge batch of taco meat and froze it in individual packs. I can pull it out and thaw quickly as is or throw it in the crock pot while I'm out and add some tomato sauce for sloppy joes over cauliflower. I put the taco meat over shredded lettuce to save calories and carbs.

    honey Sesame Chicken: feeds 6: I make 3 bags at a time so triple your purchase to have enough

    1 cup diced onion
    1/2 cup honey. /. 1/2 cupplow sodium soy sauce
    1/4 cup ketchup. /. 1/4 cup water
    2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
    1/4 Teaspoon garlic powder; 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

    1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts. (I cut into strips)

    Label 1 gallon freezer bag with recipe name and cooking instructions.

    Put everything into the bag with meat being the last thing you add. Squeeze out any air the best you can. Seal and freeze.

    Then when you need it. You can defrost in fridge overnight and then Just dump it into crockpot on low for 4-6 hours. You can set a timer to come on if you are out all day

    I have cooked from frozen, but you may need to break it up part way through cooking.
