We have been fans of Slow Cooker Freezer Meals for many years!
Back in 2012, we were one of the first bloggers to share “dump and go” freezer meals that you can use in your slow cooker and that post went absolutely viral with millions of people using those recipes over the years.
And for a good reason… crockpot freezer meals are the best! Slow cooker meals are perfect for busy weeknights when you still need a delicious meal.
The whole family will love these delicious recipes, and you will save so much time. It’s a win-win for your meal plan! The best part is that you can prep these a little bit at a time. These are great if you need some comfort food, you want to have some healthy freezer meals on hand, or you only like to go to the grocery store when you absolutely have to. Plus, it’ll cut down on your grocery bill!
Your grocery list can get pretty long, especially if you have a large family. These delicious dinner recipes require minimal effort and most can be converted into Instant Pot recipes as well.

I want these easy meals!How to make Freezer Crock Pot Meals:
The idea is simple: using an easy dump-and-go recipe, dump all the ingredients into a freezer gallon-sized bag and place in the freezer for up to 90 days.
When you are in need of a quick dinner that you can dump into your slow cooker, pull the prepped meal out of the freezer and dump into your crock pot.
Sometimes you might need to defrost your frozen meal in the microwave for a short amount of time so that you can get it out of the bag into the slow cooker.
