Crocktoberfest | One Month of Freezer to Slow Cooker Meals

[@iBrine-v4x]

oh my god! I can't believe I just found an entire channel dedicated to freezer meals.. Thanks so much, from the bottom of this busy first-time mama who is still trying to figure out how to feed her family

[@FreezerMeals101]

We're so glad youre here too! I wish I had a channel like this when my kids were young too!

[@JL-hn6hi]

Glad you included the cranberry chicken- it was the recipe I was most eager to see when I saw the list. :-)

[@FreezerMeals101]

I'm so glad! For you. Not me. Hahahaha! I'm glad you were looking forward to it!

[@missfrugalicious3590]

Thank you very much for the free Crocktober meals! I used to have 2 chest freezers, one for raw foods and the second for cooked foods. Then I gave one away because I need an upright freezer. I am looking forward to prepping, cooking and tasting all the meals. Much appreciated and thank you again! God bless you both.

[@FreezerMeals101]

I am also considering getting rid of my chest freezer and my small upright freezer and getting a larger upright freezer. I think it'll help me stay organized. 🤞

Don't you just love going out for a day of fun activities and then coming home to a house filled with the aroma of a yummy Crock Pot meal? Mmm Fall is in the air. It's like having your Mom cook for you. You feel loved. That is why the Crock Pot is still an oldy but a goody! Some people buy several from Thrift Stores or Yard Sales just for FM day! Or Holiday prep ahead. Or they are also great for Summer Time parties to keep all of that food warm. You gotta love your Crock Pots! TY ladies. Peace.

[@FreezerMeals101]

You totally get it! I love that! ❤️❤️ Thanks for watching!

[@scarletbluefield2542]

Those Mississippi meatballs sound delicious. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of them.

[@FreezerMeals101]

Christie here. I've had mine already and they are the BOMB!

[@eurekahavok]

Perfect timing ladies, I can't wait to get these assembled!

[@FreezerMeals101]

Excellent!

[@jujube2407]

Soooo you just did a mega session... followed by a 31 day crocktober session, and tomorrow we are making a 5 way freezer stack too? Wowsers your freezer must be full!!! ❤❤❤

[@FreezerMeals101]

Getting there! See you tomorrow?

[@WifeWulff]

So ready for Crocktober!! I use my Instant Pot as a Crock-Pot. The Instant Pot crock setting on LOW = keep warm in the crock pot; NORMAL is low, and HIGH is medium/high in the crock pot. If choosing high in the IP add 15 mins for every hour of crockpot cooking, ex. a crockpot recipe calling for 3 hrs on high would be 3:45 on High in the IP. The normal IP setting cooks equivalent to the Crock-Pot low setting, so no need to adjust. Also, leave the pressure valve on VENTING, or use a glass lid if you have one. Do not pressurize.

[@FreezerMeals101]

Wow! Thank you for the instant pot tutorial!

[@raymoller3723]

Thanks - I was planing to try and make meals for two and thought I would use the IP to cook as it is smaller than trying the big crock pot

[@rosalieholdaway6017]

Thankyou I love your shoe

[@3shellyiam]

Everything looks delicious

[@FreezerMeals101]

There are some really great recipes here!

[@sabrinagrosshans]

I love how the PDF links you to the recipes when you click on the name of the dinner 😊

[@FreezerMeals101]

Anything to make it easier to get dinner on the table! ♥️

[@tracyhardwick2695]

Love the cranberry chicken. Going to try the Mississippi meatballs.

[@FreezerMeals101]

Awesome! You'll love the meatballs!

[@GardeningWarrior]

This is sooo exciting!

[@FreezerMeals101]

I know right?!?

[@craftedbykittens]

if they do 3 of each they don't have to cook for 3 months and talk about a happy new year

[@cleopatrapowell75]

Christie my kids love the lemon pepper chicken also. I use chicken legs and I omit the cayenne pepper.

[@FreezerMeals101]

Mine like it even with the cayenne! It's so great! ♥️♥️♥️

[@katshaw2097]

I make a meatball stroganoff and serve over mashed potatoes. I use to make my own meatballs but now I use the Costco frozen ones

[@FreezerMeals101]

It doesn't get much better than that!

[@deana6633]

Try apricot jam in place of cranberry for the cranberry chicken.

[@FreezerMeals101]

I agree! We have That Lady's Chicken that uses apricot jam and Russian salad dressing and it's soooooo good!

[@karramiranda7421]

Looks Delicious...😋 😋 😋 I would like to know the cost of the groceries to prepare all these meals..Im in the US

[@FreezerMeals101]

We are in Canada and what we've discovered is that grocery prices vary wildly from province to province and state to state so I can't give you a meaningful cost. We know that freezer meals save money and that the biggest cost is the meat. My suggestion to you is to watch flyers. If there is a big sale on ground beef, check out the ground beef recipes and make those. Then, when there is a big sale on chicken, pick up your chicken and make those recipes. It can be a bit pricey up front to buy 6 recipes' worth of chicken (I didn't actually go and count how many recipes are with chicken... It's a guess) but having those meals done and in your freezer, plus getting the chicken at a good price, PLUS skipping the drive-thru or delivery app because you're eating at home 🟰💲💲💲💲 in your pocket. Good luck! I hope it goes well for you! ❤️

[@eliselosier4663]

do u guys have a new england claim chowder soap

[@FreezerMeals101]

We do not! I have heard of some people adding shrimp to our corn chowder but we don't have a clam chowder. Honestly, I don't think either of us like it very much so I don't think we've thought of doing it... but we can. For the greater good! hahaha! Have a great day!

[@ronjohn9651]

Is there a way to put a hot or spicey thermometer with your recipes, I'm old and like some spice mut my husband is older and doesn't like much spice. all your recipes look so good,

[@FreezerMeals101]

In the club, we have "spicy" as a keyword so you can search for it or avoid it if you see it listed in your recipe. Like anything else with freezer meals, it's very customizable to your liking. You don't like much spice at your house? Put less in. Want to kick it up a notch? Add more. We often talk about ways we make the same recipe for Sharla's house and less spicy for our house. It's a case of finding your preference and adjusting it to your liking. It may need a bit of trial and error and maybe a big glass of milk on the side! But you'll find your groove. I just know it. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@lesleyhoban6559]

Beef roast cooked raw shredded sliced ?

[@FreezerMeals101]

For the BBQ beef in a bun you should cook it then shred it.

[@tizmehere492]

❓ lentils dried or from a can? (can you even buy them in a can?) ❓ What are chili beans? ❓ is the tortellini dried (in a box)? I did look at the recipe using tortellini and I couldn’t tell if it used frozen or dried. My excuse for the other questions is that I got lazy. Thank you. ❤ your website!

[@FreezerMeals101]

Lentils are dried but rinsed before using, chili beans are chili style brown beans, and the tortellini is fresh but you can use frozen! Great questions! Thanks for watching! ♥️

[@marysmith5891]

I love your channel, but the audio on this is very difficult. Maybe a better Bluetooth mic would be good?

[@FreezerMeals101]

That is good feedback, thanks. We'll check into it.

[@tizmehere492]

We enjoy so much how the flavor profiles of the meals in Freezer Meals 101 Club are varied and vibrant and often times offer versatil preparation methods. Let’s hear it for the V’s! 🤣

[@FreezerMeals101]

So very glad to hear that! ♥️
