Benefits of Crock Pot Freezer Meals

Let's face it: for many of us, any time of the year can be busy and stressful. With work, school and busy schedules, the last thing you should have to worry about is finding time to make wholesome meals for your family.

Thankfully, slow cookers and Instant Pots are a busy cook's best friend! No meal prep is simpler than dumping a few ingredients into a crock pot and turning it on to cook.

Crock pot freezer meals (and meals that freeze easily to reheat and eat later) will help you:

  1. Save time on your busiest days.
  2. Reduce your stress.
  3. Keep your meal prep simple, and
  4. Prevent you from having to stand over the stove to make meals for your family.

Crock Pot Freezer Recipe Round Up

Here are 20 of my favourite recipes for crock pot freezer meals – everything from meatless curries to pulled pork, chili, pasta and Asian dishes, there is something for every's palate on this list!

How to make Crock Pot Freezer Meals

Click on the links below the pictures to take you to each recipe. A good rule of thumb for every recipe is to store all the ingredients in freezer-safe glass containers or large Ziploc freezer bags, label the date you assembled everything, then defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours before dumping into the crockpot when ready to cook. Store for up to 3 months once frozen!

Each recipe will have different cook times and instructions to follow so make sure your ingredients are defrosted and then cook according to instructions. Healthy family dinners have never been so easy!

    Hi There- Great recipes! If we don’t use a Crock-Pot, can we thaw and put in a pan in the oven? Or even freeze in an aluminum pan and put straight into the oven from the freezer?

      I’m sure you could Jill! I can’t give specific alternate instructions but using the oven for most should be fine 🙂

    I was interested in the sausage and peppers dish because it said freezer meal but the recipe does not give instructions on how to freeze. Do you have them? Do you have recipes that are specifically for freezer to crock pot? I am very interested in that. Thank you!

      Hey Lynne – unfortunately not all recipes will have specific freezing instructions, it just means that the meals can be frozen. Typically you would freeze each recipe in a glass bowl or you can assemble ingredients in a Ziploc bag and then freeze.

        Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Lynne is looking for “freezer-to-crockpot” meals, whereas these seem to be “crockpot-to-freezer” recipes. These are exactly what I’m looking for, because I want to do the cooking in my slow cooker first, then freeze the cooked food in single servings for my elderly mother (and for me, also) so she (and I) can just nuke them for an easy dinner.
