[@practicallinnea5334]

I love your channel! I'm so glad I found it. These slow cooker dishes look great.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found my channel too.

[@bonniepwtf]

My Crock Pot is my bestie, so dependable & drama free. Lol. I use mine several times a week, for myself and the food I cook for my 🐶 doggone. Always makes my apartment smell so good. Thanks for the recipes.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

You are so welcome!! It definitely makes things simple.

[@lani4092]

Would really like to see the finished product and to hear if it tastes good or not

[@FeedingtheByrds]

All of these are favorites, which means we have made them before and love them! I actually will not show a recipe that we didn't love. In fact, I have already filmed a new video like this, and we hated one of the meals. So the footage from that recipe will never be included in a video.

[@kims1941]

I don't even drink pop, not going to cook with it LOL! In the winter I use my oven more to warm the house. I use the crockpot more when it's hot.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I don't drink it either! I agree, I like using the CP when it's hot so we don't heat up the whole kitchen

[@faithcastle3581]

I've never used my crock pot much. But you have made it easy so I am excited to use it much more. Thank you!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yay! I am so glad this was helpful!

So helpful!

[@jennifers1123]

I have a Hamilton Beach slow cooker with 4, 6, and 8 quart inserts that I love. I use it sometimes weekly and sometimes several times a week.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Wait wait wait! I have had my crock pot for about 20 years. I had no idea they had them with inserts like that. I might be asking for a Christmas gift!

[@jennifers1123]

@@FeedingtheByrds I have had this one for years. It’s called a 3 in 1, if that helps.

[@asweetnspicyginger2443]

I use my crockpot A LOT. Never really thought about freezer ready meals. Love the idea though! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yes!!! My main reason for doing it is so that I only dirty my kitchen one time for 3-4 meals.

[@elizabethpew176]

They all look so tasty. I love Freezer Crockpot meals.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Me too!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Hey sweet friend. Hope you're not sore or hurting from your accident. We usually our crockpot once a week sometimes more. Matters on what we're cooking. Definitely going to add these recipes to my list of crockpot meals to try.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

We are feeling a little better today, Mrs. Alma! Thank you so much for asking

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@FeedingtheByrds that's good. We'll continue to pray for y'all. You're welcome friend.

Hey My Beautiful Friend. I know that I've told you so many times but I absolutely love using my crockpot to make meals for my Large Family. Atleast 3 times a week depending on what I am fixing. I'm so excited to make your Thai peanut chicken. Yum I love Thai food. I hope that Y'all have a wonderful Week. Love From Indiana.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you so much! Yes, crock pot meals are so helpful for large families

[@nikkidorsey2215]

I use my crockpot two-three times a week. Just learning how to use my insta pot.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

We don't use the instant pot as much as we used to

[@missyholz]

I use the crockpot more this time of year and Winter.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I do too but it's so good in the summer for not heating up the kitchen too!

[@KirstiPickens]

I definitely tend to use my crockpot most in the Fall and Winter!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

We do too. Although the summer is great for not heating up the kitchen!

[@christinainmichigan6726]

I use my crockpot about 4 times a week all year round. If I am making something that will be a lot I have a roaster I use also. I had 2 but my daughter borrowed it and I never got it back. I also have 6 slow cookers of different sizes. Plus an Instant Pot and air fryer.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Wow!! You have the goods!

[@mssatgirl]

Love these recipes. I am using my crockpot more & more these days. Really trying not to eat out.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

We've been trying to be better about that too

[@ameliasarno1210]

Fabulous dinners, I got beer braised chicken and the dR. Pepper pulled pork on the list.

All year round at least 1 meal a week. In summer almost everyday when temps hit melting 🤣🤣

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yes! So great in the summer.

[@debgersh5555]

Saw you posted and was so glad you were back and well, loved all the recipes, collecting for winter😁 all the best💐

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you so much!!

[@tammisue62]

I almost never use my slow cooker ... fell in love with my Instant Pot ... BUT have set a goal for the winter to slow cook at least once a week!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

We use our instant pot occasionally. I think part of the problem for me is that when I bought my IP, I got the biggest one they offer, thinking I needed that. I do not. I need a much smaller one

[@tammisue62]

@@FeedingtheByrds I have both a 3qt & 6qt nice to use the smaller one to make rice or potatoes and the larger the entree - I'd think the 8qt would make a Byrds size batch of yogurt on the regular 😉

[@candycec908]

Amber, I always enjoy watching your videos. Your recipes always look amazing and your cheery disposition just makes watching fun. Keep up the good work on your channel.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you are here, following along

[@suesch60]

I’m trying to use my crockpot more, only because I work and hubby is retired, so I have him throw it together. I sometimes freeze meals, but not often.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

It really does make things simple!

[@nancyfeeser4653]

I use my crock pot as much as I can! Always looking for new ideas. I do not do freezer meals. I only have my refrigerator freezer. I like to throw in the morning and let it go.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

We like to use ours as well!

[@valerieh8526]

I do marinated meats for freezer prep, but not usually full meals.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you!

[@micahsmom1883]

I love to watch the freezer meal videos, but I have to be honest I never make freezer meals. I tend to make a large meal and put some in the freezer and when I am swamped or work a night shift I will pull one of those out for my husband. I also will make a big pot of soup and put that in the freezer and pull it out on a night I was not planning to make soup but my husband would like some. I have to say that the freezer meals give me good ideas to do but I just tend to do mine fresh.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Those are great ideas! Anything like that helps.

[@jeaniestoltz1764]

Don't use it as often as I should. I don't food prep but I should! It would definitely save time!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

It really does make a huge difference!

[@heatherschrader9043]

do you have the recipes written out so I can get started on this asap?!! Love your video.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yes! The links to each one are in the description of the video. Just below the actual video.

[@pamjones7632]

I'm trying to get into freezer meals and dump and go. I just really don't have time to cook during the week. I have a CP I'm wanting to try to get a IP!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I use my CP a lot more than my IP honestly. But if you need CP inspiration, I have a whole playlist! kzbin.info/aero/PLYm_PKMiG9dx5QTGhG1GgDtD0CvWB-5tT

[@sjhirst3]

I usually use my crockpot once a week or so, and I rarely do freezer meals. I would use it more and love to do more freezer meals, but it's very difficult to find recipes that everyone in this house likes or can eat, especially those that are crockpot meals. There are 6 of us. 2 are on the spectrum, 1 is lactose intolerant, and there are a few other sensitivities and allergies in there.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh man, that is tough! Do you have any favorites?

[@sjhirst3]

1. Crockpot chicken and gravy. I save and freeze the leftovers for chicken dressing casserole. 2. Shredded chicken - half of us like it plain (with salt and pepper) on buns and half like it turned into bbq for sandwiches. Anything we don't use that night, I save for quesadillas or something like that. 3. Taco soup. I eat mine with sour cream and Fritos. Only half of us like it, so I usually make chicken noodle in another crockpot at the same time. 4. I like to buy cold rotisserie chicken chickens from Walmart and put them in the crockpot in the morning on warm or the afternoon on low. I also like to get croissants from the Walmart bakery to go with it. 5. Homemade beef vegetable soup. 6. Sometimes, I just put canned progresso soup in the crockpot on low until dinner time and make some cheese toast or just lay out crackers for it. Some days, I just need to do something easy. My husband and I both work full time and I have a few chronic health issues. We just all do the best we can.

Do the assembled meals need to be thawed? Could I increase the time and put the frozen food right in the crock pot?

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I have done these with and without thawing all of the way.

[@kathrynthomas8732]

I love making freezer meals but if I’m going to make1 I’ll make 6

[@FeedingtheByrds]

That's awesome!

[@jmk2530]

So do you put these in the freezer, thaw them when you need them and once thawed put it in the crockpot?

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yes. I usually thaw at least enough that it easily comes out of the bag.

[@eringarceau3752]

Now when you're putting the ingredients in the cook time, are you putting it in from freezer or are you thawing it first overnight?

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I usually let it thaw at least enough to easily come out of the bag.

[@SuccessWithDaddyGod]

Is the consistency of potatoes ok when you freeze them raw?

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I really dont think the consistency changes, BUT the color does change a bit. So be prepared for that.

[@shellychandler2040]

I think the link for the thai chicken is incorrect.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

It's there. Unfortunately you just have to scroll down really far to find it.

[@sandragoss48]

I don’t do freezer meals. My freezer is not big enough. I do cook ahead a few days and leave in the fridge. My children are grown & have left the nest. Mealtimes are easy for me these days.

That's what I'm talking about!

[@beckyhines3814]

I love pork but ham is the only pork I don't care for.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I actually don't like ham at all! The only thing I care for it in is the chicken cordon bleu soup I make.

[@dianec3279]

Well, I sure would have liked to see you guys eat the meals. So I can’t really say 👍🏻or👎🏻…. I’m guessing more 👎🏻 cuz the measurements are way off from what you use and what you say you use. The concept is good though and I’m guessing they all were good, but we will really never know that. It’s cool though. Like you said dump and go. If it’s good, great. If it’s not, improvise and make it better. TFS

[@FeedingtheByrds]

So these recipes were actually all favorites. So they are tried and true recipes that we love. And, we always add more or less of an ingredient if it's one that we love or don't love. I am constantly adjusting recipes to fit our likes!

[@kristennelson2480]

Ground beef in potato soup 🤨🤢 I can see subbing bacon or even chicken but ground beef?

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh my goodness it is SOOO GOOD! Have you ever had cheeseburger soup? It tastes very similar.
