Would like the recipes for the freezer crock pot meals.
I would love all these recipes please! That look wonderful
Hi Karen! Click on the links above each photo to find the recipes shared on the site they were originally shared.
Please be careful with comments like “pull one out and stick it in the crockpot”. If people don’t read the cooking instructions carefully, they might think that it’s okay to put frozen ingredients directly into the slow cooker. This is very dangerous and can lead to food-borne illness. All food going into the crockpot MUST be thawed in order to come to a safe temperature in a safe amount of time.
Please send me the recipes.
My family and I will be in temporary housing (hotel) for up to three months starting soon. I would absolutley love to have freezer meals available to pop in crockpot, since we wont have oven. I will prep on the weekends for the upcoming week, while at families home visiting. Thanks so much!
What I wouldn’t give if someone has already put together a shopping list for all of these meals! If anyone had, please let me know, this looks like a fantastic way to keep the family fed with minimal fuss, now if I could just get organized! LOL
Same here!
It’d be great to have a grocery shopping list to go along with the recipes
Agree!!
Are there instructions? To make it easier while prepping all these at once? Cause that would be perfect! Looking for simplicity! 🙂 thanks
Where do I get the white stick on labels with a column for ingredients and one for instructions?
Hi Mary Ann! If you follow the link with the image, I think the labels are being offered as a paid download via the blog sharing the recipe. Good Luck!

Do you have to separate the meat from the vegetables and seasoning? Is it ok to have the raw meat in the same bag with other stuff. Thank you
I think it depends on the recipe you choose. You’ll need to read specific instructions for each one.
How do you freeze the potatoes for the potato recipes? The recipes you listed in this freezer to crock pot list that have potatoes all recommend not freezing the potatoes. Thank you!!
