Happy freezer meal cooking!
I love making 50 freezer meals in a day all at once so I don’t have to cook every day of the year. It’s a real time saver. If you are new to freezer meals see this post here.

December 4, 2018 at 5:23 amI am wondering how cooking time would vary if I only wanted to make one pound. Small crock pot and small budget and not sure if I am interested in freezing anything. I’m just getting into the home life and I’m trying to make my meals from fresh ingredients but I just have no idea how to cook anything really

June 5, 2018 at 7:36 amDo you have to cook the meat first before freezing? Or can you put it in raw with all the ingredients? I’ve never done freezer meals before.
