10 Crock-Pot Freezer Meals - Beef Recipes - Part 4 of 4

Here's Part 4 of 4.  If you've been asking yourself- where's the beef?  Today is your day!  The kids are huge fans of the Mongolian Beef recipe.  There's something about putting in the fresh ginger that really pulls it all together.   

Mongolian Beef with Rice

Ingredients for the freezer bag:
2 lbs. stew meat
2 tsp. olive oil
1 onion, thickly sliced
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 cup soy sauce (I used reduced sodium)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. fresh minced ginger
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
Dump all ingredients except the meat into a labeled freezer bag, seal and mix up.  Add stew meat once sauce ingredients are mixed well.

Day of the Meal:
Cook on low 8 hours (you may want to add a little more water to the crockpot if it’ll be longer)
Make the rice 
Add a veggie side - It would be perfect with broccoli


Beef Tips

Ingredients for the freezer bag:
2 lbs stew meat, diced
1 packet Dry Onion Soup Mix
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 14 oz. can beef broth
Dump all ingredients except the meat into a labeled freezer bag, seal and mix up.  Add stew meat once sauce ingredients are mixed well.


Day of the Meal:
Cook on Low 8 hours
Side Ideas: Mashed potatoes or rice and some green beans or a side salad

Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients for the freezer bag:
2 pounds stew meat
1 pound sliced mushrooms
1 diced onion
1 can low sodium beef broth
Dump all ingredients into a labeled freezer bag, seal and mix up.  Done and Done!

**You might notice the mushrooms are missing... that's the beauty of this!  You can mix it up for what works for you and your family!  Don't like mushrooms?  Don't put them in!**

Here's mine with the mushrooms.  I love the flavor they add to the sauce and they stand up to the cooking time well.

Day of the Meal:
Cook on low 8-10 hours
Extra directions for cook day: Add 1 cup water to slow cooker before cooking. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream before serving (do not add freeze with other ingredients or add at beginning of cooking time or it will curdle)
Serve with: rice or noodles

That's the 4 part wrap.  I hope you all enjoyed the recipes.  I would love to hear about your favorite recipe or tips and tricks!  Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great weekend.
