This is seriously one of my favorite recipes, and my fiance’ loves it as well! I found a recipe somewhere, but it included a whole block of cream cheese! I love making regular recipes healthier, so I knew greek yogurt would make this taste so much better! I also swapped the creamed corn for frozen corn, my own homemade chicken stock, and reduced sodium black beans and tomatoes. I also

There are those days, and I know you all know of them, that you just want some comfort food.  Anything that can be prepared in a slow cooker, to me, is comforting.  The other day, we needed just that.  I hope you enjoy our recipe for Beef Stew.  Below is the gluten-free version, but you can always replace the gluten-free ingredients with conventional ones.   There are those days, and

(This post contains affiliate links) These easy chicken enchilada nachos are a HUGE hit in our home. We always have Mexican food on Saturdays. And to be frank, my gang wouldn’t mind one bit if we had Mexican night several times per week.     I like to have a slow cooker meal Saturday nights because we enjoy family game nights and we try to get to bed at reasonable

How’s that for a weird title?  Yeah, I didn’t want you to miss out on the recipe, but have a few other things to say first.  🙂  If you don’t want to hear about our medical drama, feel free to scroll to the bottom and find where the recipe is.   If you’ve been reading here very long, you’d know that last year was probably one of the most stressful years

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

  • rayzn2angelsfrom Freezer to Slow Cooker Series

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
