So I’m new to freezer meals. To do crock pot freezer meals do you cook it in the crockpot first and then freeze it or do you prep it out first and then freeze it and later cook it in the crockpot when you are ready?
You can do either, but I mostly prefer to freeze, prep first and then later cook it in the crockpot.
For my New Mexico Posole, I cook a large pork roast in the crock pot. With potatoes and carrots that makes one meal. A few days later I pull the pork and make Hatch green chili Posole using chicken broth, green chili, hominy and mexican spices. I got enough to freeze in 2 containers. 3 meals from one roast! So Good!
I love using the leftovers this way! It sounds delicious too!
The lime-cilantro chicken looks yummy!
These look great! Love having freezer meals available for Sundays.
freezer meals that go into a crockpot are the best recipes 🙂

Two of the best things ever – a freezer meal for the crockpot!
Slow cooker recipes are my jam. Can’t wait to try some that will go straight from freezer to crockpot!
These look delicious! I think I might try the Cilantro Lime Chicken first. Using it in the lettuce wrap looks like a perfect spring/summer meal.
