We ended up making 26 meals to be frozen. When ready to use them just get them out the day before to thaw then stick in the crockpot for 4-6 hours.
We had a ton of fun making these. Next time though we will stick to making about 10 so it won't take as long. :)
Meals we made:
Teriyaki Chicken (4 meals)
Teriyaki Pork Chops (2 meals)
Lazy Day Stew (4 meals)
Chicken Fajitas (2 meals)
Savory Chicken (4 meals)
Hawaiian Chicken(2 meals)
Ranch Pork Chops (2 meals)
Taco Soup (2 meals)
Honey BBQ Wings (2 meals)
Sweet and Tangy Chicken Legs (2 meals)
| Directions for Bulk Preparation | ||
| 1. Gather all the ingredients needed. | ||
| 2. Chop all of the veggies first. Dice all your onions, carrots, peppers, and mince your garlic. | ||
| 3. Label your bags with the directions. | ||
| 4. Add your meats. (I cut my chicken breasts longways before placing in bag.) | ||
| 5. Add your veggies. | ||
| 6. Add all other ingredients. | ||
| 7. Let out air, seal bag, and lay flat. | ||
| 8. Freeze. | ||
| Pull the bags out of the freezer the night before you want to use them so they will be thawed | ||
| when they go in the crock pot the next day. | ||
| Each recipe will give two gallon size bags. Each bag is enough to feed a family of 4ish for dinner. | ||
| Can use any leftovers for lunch the next day. Don't forget to write the name of the recipe, the amount of people it will feed, and how long to put it in the crockpot. |
1. Some of the recipes we could add more chicken than it said so it would feed a bit more.
2. Spend the extra $ and buy the pre-minced garlic!! :)
3. Remember to write on the bags before putting the stuff in them.
4. Stick with 4 or 5 recipes and make multiple bags rather than trying to do so many different kinds.
5. Buy pre-minced garlic.
6. Have lots of chopping boards.
7. If transporting them to another house after, be sure and bring an ice chest or crate to transport.
8. Buy pre-minced garlic! ;)
