Before we start, many of you have asked me what is the best slow cooker for your family. There are many variables for every family, but I tell you all about them here:  Best Slow Cooker Choices.

I enjoy using our slow cooker, roast being one of my favorite meals to make in ours.  In fact, I’ve met some people who only know how to make roast in a slow cooker. They never make anything else.  Isn’t that weird?  OK, well, maybe not weird, but, if you’re like me and use the slow cooker for everything under the sun, it may seem weird.  LOL.  Or maybe I’m weird.  I don’t know.  I’ll let you decide.  😛

The onion soup mix gives this recipe the extra spice that it needs!  I’m not going to add this to the recipe, but cutting up fresh onions is also a good addition if your family likes onions.  My 5 year old hates them so I try to leave the obvious pieces out when possible.

Roast, Potatoes and Carrots - A Crockpot Freezer Meal - SidetrackedSarah.com

Ingredients:

Roast
Potatoes (Peeled and quartered)
Carrots (peeled and halved)
One packet of onion soup mix
Water

Directions:

Put contents in slow cooker.  Cook on low for 8 hours.  If you cook it on high, your meat will be done, but not quite as tender if you only cook it for 4 hours.

If you’d like to prepare this for a freezer to slow cooker meal, you will do as follows:

  1. Dissolve onion soup mix in 2 cups of water
  2. Pour into freezer safe bag with roast that was removed from it’s packaging.  
  3. Freeze together
  4. Peel and slice carrots and freeze in a separate bag.
  5. Remember to pull contents out the night before and let it begin thawing in the refrigerator.  If you happen to forget, just throw it all in the crock frozen, but you’ll want to give it about an hour of extra cooking time.
  6. On cooking day, peel potatoes that you need for your family size.
  7. Put roast in the water/soup mixture on the bottom and then stack the potatoes and carrots on top of that.  I prefer the meat to be in the juices so that it continues to get the flavor of the onion soup mix, but if you would rather have your veggies get that taste in them, put the vegetables on the bottom and the meat on top.  

Tip:  If you’re really short on time, just put the washed potatoes in with their peel.

  • 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

    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.
