Week 3, Freezer to Slow Cooker

You’ve been asking for it and it is now, finally here!  This week’s menu is maybe even one of my simplest yet.  I don’t know if you’ll throw rocks at me or love me!  Either way, I’m going to share it because it’s so easy and will save you some serious time.  The only problem with this menu is that you have to peel potatoes for 2 of the meals.  That is your most time consuming part.  I bought a 50 pound bag of potatoes for $10 and I’m trying to use them up!  I am providing the recipes and ideas for the main dishes.  You will need to come up with sides.

Here’s what we’re eating:

Slow Cooker Potato Soup
Roast, Potatoes & Carrots
BBQ Chicken
Italian Chicken
Montereys
Slow Cooker Pinto Beans

I have linked 4 of the recipes, but the other 2 are so simple that I’m not going to link to them.  I’ll give you a quick rundown right here.

BBQ Chicken:

BBQ Chicken on Sidetracked Sarah

Cook a bag of chicken breast in a bottle of BBQ sauce in the slow cooker on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.  You could later shred it for sandwiches if you wanted to, but it’s good either way.  This is so easy, you don’t even need to prep it for Freezer to Slow Cooker.

Italian Chicken
Italian Chicken - A Freezer to Slow Cooker Meal

Pour a bag of chicken breast with a bottle of Italian Chicken Marinade into your slow cooker.  (I’ve heard that Italian Dressing will do, too).  Cook it on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.

Tip:  With chicken, I almost always just throw it into my slow cooker frozen.  It always turns out awesome!

  • 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.

    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.
