You may remember when I made 20 crockpot freezer meals in 3 hours back in July. It was a lifesaver for those summer days when I didn’t feel like making dinner. I loved the idea so much that I decided to do it again, only on a smaller scale. One hour is easily doable for most people. During baby’s nap time or on a long lunch break you can prep and freeze 8 dinners for the upcoming busy days.

Caramel Chicken is sweet and savory and is perfect served over hot rice. |
What’s even better, is that these meals are all fairly healthy (but still super yummy, don’t worry). I had a lot of the items for the recipes on hand and only had to spend a half hour grocery shopping for everything else.

P.S. Can’t get enough freezer meals?
Buy my e-book that tells how to make 20 meals in 3 hours.
It’s only $3.99!
I’m disabled and my aide won’t cook for my hubby, only me so I had to get creative. Saw this and looked thru the ones that sounded good for us. He works10-12 hour shifts ,4 on 2 off. When he’s home he’s asleep. We’re no spring chicken’s …So I started with 5 and it was great. Then I did 10, and now I’m going for 20. It’s been so much easier. Make the list of meals, see what I have here,have delivered what I need. Prep,put ingredients into bags. I double bag so I can have meal name and what I need to do ( instructions and reuse the outer bags,) freeze and tada!!! Next I’m going to do some oven meals !!!! Sometimes we have leftovers some not . I’m now ok with the aide not cooking. Each day I pick a bag and in it goes!!! Good luck cookers.
This is great to hear! I’m so happy this was helpful to you.
do you have to thaw the freezer bag before plopping into the slow cooker? I’m confused on that part. Other websites say you need to.
I don’t. But yes some others do. If you remember to put in the fridge to thaw the day before then it will be less time to cook.
Oh, and I've made your caramel chicken before. It's AMAZING!!!
LOVE this, Karen! I'm a huge fan of freezer crockpot meals, but finding healthy AND fast options to keep things interesting can be hard. Pinning this and I'll be referring to it again soon!!!
Hope you like it! Thanks, Blair 🙂
