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.
I 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
Hi, as long as your crock pot is small you can totally reduce this recipe down. It should work perfectly, cooking time will likely be the same though.
Do 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.
You can do either! Whichever way you like! If you don’t have time to cook that day, just put the meat into freezer bag, then thaw on cooking day and cook it all day, to come home to a yummy smelling house. 🙂
