10 Crock-Pot Freezer Meals - Pork and Ham Recipes - Part 3 of 4

Pork roasts might be my favorite freezer meal to make.  I think it's because roasts just work beautiful in the slow cooker all day.  We all know how to do pulled pork for a quick and easy dinner or family BBQ but here are a few new pork roast recipes that are pretty darn good.  Similar to what I mentioned with the zesty chicken- these would be good ones to pull the roast out at the end of the day and whisk the sauce to get a nice sauce consistency.  Hope you enjoy!

Crock-Pot Pork, Cranberry and Green Beans

Ingredients for the freezer bag:

1 pound frozen green beans

15oz can of whole cranberry sauce

1 packet of onion soup mix

2 pounds of meat (chicken and pork are both tasty)

Dump all ingredients into one freezer bag.  Done and Done!

Day of the Meal:

Cook on low 8 hours

Serve with rice or noodles and a side salad

Crock-Pot Honey Dijon Pork or Chicken

Ingredients for the freezer bag:

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground thyme

2 pounds of meat (chicken and pork are both delicious)

Dump all ingredients into one bag.  Done and Done!

Day of the Meal:

Extra directions for cook day: Add ½ cup water to the crockpot

Cook on low 8 hours

Cranberry-Mustard Pork

Ingredients for the freezer bag:

One (3-4 pound) pork roast (loin, shoulder, butt),

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (if using craizins – just omit the sugar)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon brown or Dijon mustard

1 diced onion

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I only do a pinch because Mark doesn’t like it)

zest and juice of 1 orange

Day of the Meal:

Cook on low 8-10 hours

Serve with: mashed potatoes or rice, steamed broccoli

Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

Ingredients for the freezer bag:

1 large bag of frozen potatoes

1 can cream of potato soup

1 can of water

1 ham steak, cubed

4 oz cheddar cheese

Dump all ingredients except the potatoes into a labeled freezer bag, seal and mix up.  Add potatoes to mix with the other ingredients.  (I put everything in together the first time I made this and it’s hard to get it evenly distributed with the potatoes taking up so much room.  The easiest way might be to go ahead and dirty a dish to get it all evenly distributed without breaking the bag.  Generally I don't like to do that... this recipe might be the exception.)

Day of the Meal:

Cook on low 8-10 hours

Serve with broccoli or another side veggie
