3 Dump and Go Instant Pot Freezer Meals (+video)

Today I’m going to be sharing with you 3 dump and go Instant Pot freezer meals. To make these meals you’ll pile ingredients into a zipper freezer bag and then freeze the food. When you are ready to eat the meal you plop the contents of the bag into your Instant Pot (along with some liquid), press a few buttons and then come back to a hot and delicious dinner!

These dump and go freezer meals are perfect for people that don’t have a lot of time for prep work but want a hot meal. These meals are also perfect for older kids/teens to pop into the Instant Pot if parents aren’t home in time to get dinner going. Another idea is dropping these meals off at a neighbors home that is going through a hard time like a bed rest pregnancy or chemo treatments.

I made these meals for a friend and had her be my taste tester. She had nothing but praise for the meals and her husband and two boys enjoyed them too. She is a foodie so I was happy that she enjoyed them so much.

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (frozen is fine and you can use a combination or types of chicken)
  • 2 tsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can seasoned chili beans (Bush’s and S&W brands are good)
  • 1 cup frozen corn (you can also use a can of drained corn)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 1/2 cup bacon crumbles (I buy the big bag from Costco)
  • 1 packet or 3 Tbsp dry ranch dressing mix (I use Hidden Valley)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (I use full fat)
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (I like sharp cheddar for more flavor)
  • Cornstarch

Instructions

Assembly Instructions:

  1. Label a zipper freezer bag with the title Crack Chicken Chili.
  2. Add the chicken, Better than Bouillon, chili beans (undrained), corn, diced tomatoes (undrained), green chiles, bacon crumbles, ranch dressing mix, cumin, chili powder, onion powder into the bag. Seal the bag securely. 
  3. Freeze the bag in a shape that will fit into your Instant Pot. I like to use these freezer containers* to help me! 

Instructions for day of cooking/serving:

Add 1 ½ cups water to the bottom of your Instant Pot. Dump in contents of bag. Dump one brick of cream cheese on top. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the SOUP button (if you don’t have a soup button use the manual/pressure cook button) to 10 minutes (if bag is thawed) or 15 minutes (if bag is frozen flat) or 20 minutes (if bag is frozen in shape of IP). When the time is up let the pot sit for 5-10 more minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. Use tongs to remove the chicken and place it on a cutting board. Shred up the chicken well and add it back into the pot. Stir the chili so that the cream cheese incorporates. Stir in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese. To thicken use a cornstarch slurry. Take 2-3 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2-3 Tbsp of cold water and stir together in a small bowl until smooth. Then turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting. Stir the slurry into the Instant Pot and the chili will thicken quickly. Once chili is thick turn off the Instant Pot. Ladle chili into bowls and serve.

Notes

Slow Cooker Instructions: Follow instructions above for assembly. For day of cooking: Add 1 ½ cups water to the bottom of your slow cooker. Dump in contents of bag. Dump one brick of cream cheese on top. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until chicken is cooked through. This will depend on your particular slow cooker. Use tongs to remove the chicken and place it on a cutting board. Shred up the chicken well and add it back into the pot. Stir the chili so that the cream cheese incorporates. Stir in the cheddar cheese. To thicken use a cornstarch slurry. Take 2-3 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2-3 Tbsp of cold water and stir together in a small bowl until smooth. Then turn the slow cooker to the high setting. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker and the chili will thicken quickly. Ladle chili into bowls and serve.

    Hello there. I just came across these recipes and am eager to try them. I have a question about the Crack Chicken Chili. Is it okay to pre-shred the chicken pre-freezer (instead of starting with whole pieces and shredding them toward the end)? I’m trying to simplify the cooking part of the process. Thank you for these delicious-sounding recipes.

      Sure you could do that! Is the chicken already cooked? If so you can cut down on the cooking time.

    I am interested in the ravioli lasagna. I just put it together and it’s now in my the freezer. When I take it out to put it in the instant pot, do I put it directly into the water in the instant pot or use a pan or sping form pan sitting above the water? Can’t wait to try it. Thanks.

    Hi Karen, I am at an altitude of 6,500 feet in Utah. It seems like I always have to cook food longer than the recipe suggests. How do I know how much longer. I keep opening up my instant pot and to see if it is done, and it isn’t. Is there a way to know how many minutes to add without opening and closing and opening and closing? THANKS!!

    Hi from Australia, I just made the honey lime salsa verde chicken, which we enjoyed but I was wondering if the chilli powder is straight ground chilli or a blend of spices?

      Hi Robyn, as far as I know Chili powder blends are composed chiefly of chili peppers and blended with other spices including cumin, onion, garlic powder, and sometimes salt.

    I made the Crack Chicken Chili recipe tonight – I made it straight from the freezer. I’m not sure if anyone else experienced this but unfortunately the chicken did not cook all the way through. I discovered the portions of raw and/or still frozen chicken thighs when I went to shred it. I had cooked it 15 minutes and let it sit 10 minutes. I repeated the cook time and rest time. All the chicken was cooked through at this point.

    I’m hesitant to make it again as I’m concerned about food safety issues for me and my family.

    On the honey lime chicken you have to only put 1/4 cup of lime juice in the pot. I have an 8 quart instant pot and know I should use 1 and1/2 cups of liquid so I don’t get burn signal. Will it still be ok with just the lime juice?
    I know the freezer part will melt down ,but will that be enough liquid?

On the lasagna, the recipe calls for a cup of parm, but at the end of the recipe, it calls for a half cup of parm. Is this a typo, or is the other half added before cooking? I left it out for now.

    Try putting your Ziploc bag in the liner of your instant pot to fill it. Close the bag and put it all in the freezer until frozen. Then take bag out of liner to store it in the freezer. It will be the shape of your liner when you get ready to use it. Or you could line the liner with foil.

    For the Pot Honey Lime Salsa Verde Chicken, did you cut up the chicken breasts before adding to the bag to be frozen? The photo shows smaller pieces than I would expect for chicken breasts, and in the recipe description, you mention chicken tenders. Want to do it correctly. Love your receipes!

      Hi Vicky, for the freezer version I just used whole chicken breasts. Then I shredded. I used tenders for the original recipe. You could use tenders if you prefer but with a shorter cooking time…probably 8-10 minutes.

Hi, I’m Karen. I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
