10 Crock-Pot Freezer Meals

Good Morning!  These are the 10 Crock-Pot freezer recipes that I've posted over the last few days in one big post.  Most people liked the idea of having multiple blog posts but a few wanted one big post.   

Full disclosure! In the picture above I have two recipes of zesty chicken and didn't do the scalloped potatoes and ham.  Mostly because we love the zesty chicken and because I forgot the ham and didn't want to go back to the store.  

If you missed my tips and tricks to Crock-Pot freezer meals - please sneak back to Part 1 of 4 to take a quick look.  Part 1 also explains where these recipes came from and how I like to pick my freezer meals.

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

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon brown or Dijon mustard

zest and juice of 1 orange

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

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

3-4 chicken breasts
