I like the idea of the frozen meals. I think it is outstanding and very easy to prep. unfortunately I noticed that the cook times are different on some of the bags that I was able to read but you did not list any cook times for the meals. Thanks and keep up these great ideas I like it
I am loving your video!! Keep them cooking!
These meals look amazing! Healthy simple and they look delicious. Looking forward to trying them. Thank you.
Very impressed with this video
Will be doing this.
Half the time it’s to much trouble to prepare veg & meat & poultry, this way is great.
Giving you a BIG thumbs up 👍
Sounds healthy, delicious and easy. They all are my favorite 🤩
I just found you and holly cow I subscribed immediately, ahahaha! 😂 Girl you are a inspiration for everyone! 👌💖
Love this
one of the best ive seen
Meatloaf would be my favorite. I love Meat Loaf but I have never had it in a slow cooker!
You've earned another immediate and enthusiastic subscriber as well! I was very impressed with tiur freezer meals! They all looked amazingly easy, affordable, and kid and teen friendly! I can't wait to see more from you and those big beautiful eyes of yours! Thank you for sharing. Gonna binge watch you this morning and see what other gems you got! Hoping you got some breakfast and dessert freezer ideas coming....hint hint!
Thank you for answering my questions before I even asked them xD Very helpful!
Love all the soups
This video is a LIFE SAVER! thank you thank you!
Awesome video !!
First time i watched and a new subby!!
Great idea! Thanks
Love the meatloaf . Thank you for this video 😋😋😋
New subbie here🙋! For how many people are these meal prep for (as in each bag)? I have just bought a tiny slow cooker so was hoping to learn using it with your recipes 😋 🤗
I would like to see how you arrange the food in the Crock Pot, and the cooked dish.
1st video, New sub! Thanks for sharing.
This is great. May I know each bag is for how many ppl?
I only clicked this video out of curiosity. Then you started with split pea soup! Liked, subscribed and hit the bell immediately! Can't wait to try em all out!!
Let me know how they go for you!
If you wrap the meatloaf in plastic wrap before placing it in the freezer bag it will keep the meat tasting fresher when you cook it.
That will work for most meats
Excellent
Great set it and forget it meal!
I just did all 7 of these and they are now in my freezer :D
How did they turn out!?
Forever :D
All I needed to see was the heb bag and I subbed immediately lol
Thsnkyou so much for doing all this, you have made it so much easier for me to do really nice meals, I’ve just joined slimming world and I was a bit overwhelmed at the thought of working out meals for mysrkf
Can I just add that if you are preparing chicken in the UK before you cook it in the slow cooker you MUST defrost it first. I am afraid our safety systems are not as good as yours. Love your detailed recipes.
Hi Lacey, thanks for making this video. So much good stuff there.
I'm wondering if you ever had a problem with freezing your raw potatoes. Do they ever turn black? If not, how do you do it that prevents this from happening. I've tried it twice and the insides of the potatoes have turned black both times. It's very unappealing.
Thanks!
Angie 978 you blanch your veggies before putting them in a freezer.. I was disappointed this woman didn't go into that..
How long do you cook these meals for in the slow cooker please
I wanna know as well how many does each bag feed?
is the general cooking approach to all these to cook for 5 hrs on low (add 1.5 hr if frozen)?
Nice idea we need ideas like that more today.💯👍💯✌️💯☘️💯🎊💯👏💯😋💯🙏💯🌍💯
I think they are all great but the meat loaf looks good to me
Chicken parm. Love the recipes. Great video
can i make this in a pressure cooker?
Thank you for sharing. Just
Subscribed... Mom of 5
yaaaaaay thanks and welcome!!
All this looks and sounds wonderful. Can a person do this exactly as you describe , freeze and when ready to eat, sues vide the bag???? There are no such great meals to be made ahead of time cooking them in sues vide.
Oh my goodness Lacey🙌🏻. I literally CANNOT wait to make ALL of these (except the one with the curry) I tried curry for the first time this week and it did not agree with me at all🤮. My husband is going to see what a SUPERSTAR I am. Lol. He already knows but it’s nice to remind him. I’m also going to share this with or daughter in college. She’ll LOVE being able to put these in the crockpot in the morning and come home after a long and stressful day, and have a healthy and delicious meal without ordering out like so many of her friends do. You’re a ROCK STAR in my book. I follow your blog and I follow you on Instagram (my name is _momswag_ on instagram) of you have a Snapchat, I’ll follow that too!!! Thank you 😊
A lot of people feel that way about curry. But curry is like noodles, or pickles, or sandwiches. There are about a thousand different kinds, so please don't necessarily count it out because you tried it once and didn't care for it.
There are about as many curries as there are cooks that make them. And prepackaged ones are, generally speaking, not as good as homemade. Also, there are a lot of variety in the curry spice blends you find at the market in the spice aisle.
I myself don't care for sweet pickles, but garlicky dill are awesome. Doesn't mean I don't like pickles, it just means I don't like some pickles that other people feel are fantastic.
Can you make videos of how you cook these freezer meals, please.
How long will the meatloaf cook on low? You don’t have to thaw any of the meat recipes? Thanks
How long do you cook the meatloaf? Couldn’t find it on the instructions
So I bagged the first three recipes and will cook them up next week while we're at camp all week. I'll post an update to let you all know what we thought of the split pea, minestrone, and taco soup bags👩🍳
Yay!!! Can’t wait to what how they turn out. Love the idea of bringing them to camp ❤️
So we ate the Italian soup one so far and I added a package of cooked hot Italian sausage. The soup tasted very fresh. I loved it and dh asked for pasta added next time and one kid went back for several helpings. There was 5 of us eating this and we still had leftovers. If I do it again, I'll split it into two freezer meals or half the recipe.
I would like to see the finished product of these freezer meals before actually trying then out. We're mexican and we're used to only eating Mexican type meals so these recipe foods are all new to me.
Clever girl
;)
Great ideas however instructions for my slow cooker states not to start with frozen meat.
I use meat from the freezer, and it has always been fine. The issue is that some people cannot figure out when the food is cooked through. I usually cook on low heat. If you are still worried about using frozen meat, just plan ahead and take it out of the freezer the night before you cook it. If you are out of the house all day, cooking the food from frozen is beneficial because most meals cook before a person is home from work.
I use frozen quite often. You have to be careful not to crack the insert as it heats, as well as be certain the meat has cooked through. But being cooked all day (8 hours) is plenty of time!
These look great, but you didn't mention how long to cook each one or on what temp.
Kaberr ONeill she put the website link in the description www.asweetpeachef.com/slow-cooker-freezer-meals
In the meatloaf/potato recipe. Have you done this? How are the potatoes I thought freezing potatoes would make their texture change and very unappealing?
me too
Can you make these in an instant pot
Yes!
Yes... i just got a pressure cooker. Really like to try out these recipes... appreciate if can share a video on this using a pressure cooker and would luv to the finished product. Tqvm for the awesome ideas
What size bags, are you using?
1 gallon
No mention of cook time for these?
I would like to know why slow cooker freezer packs are never with beef or pork?I'm fed up with chicken too much is like too little!
I would be worried the veggies would be mush cooking them at the sametime as the meat ?
Where are the amounts for the ingredients?
👁mean meatloaf🥩🍞
I feel like the cashew chicken will burn because it’s not enough moisture in recipe... 🤔
Chicken thighs release a ton of liquid when slow cooked. That's why they're the perfect cut for the slow cooker, imo.

Thaw the freezer meals with raw meat before cooking!
why is that ?

Is anyone monitoring whether harmful stuff leaches from plastic baggies and containers when microwaved. ALSO, skipping browning is a HUGE MISTAKE!!!
Brown chick in a broiler pan under the oven broiler.
OMG really!??
Right?!?
I like the meals, but where are the measurements ect.?
I also found it weird. I thought there would be recipes attached. However, the ingredients she uses are strange to use in some of the recipes. Once a person has cooked for a bit of time, he or she should be able to judge measurements. Use a Crock Pot does not change the measurements. Just throw food in the pot and you will be good!
In the description! Full quantities plus link to her site with cooking times. From reading comments these can easily feed 5+ people!
I see in comments not to put frozen meat in slow cooker??? Cooking it from frozen ALL DAY LONG??? Doesnt cook the meat???
Those green beans would be horrible brown being in the slow cooker. Leave them out and put them in 15-30 mins before serving.
I am concerned that you are freezing fresh veggies. Veggies should be blanched before freezing. I prepare a double recipe, completly cook, and freeze half of the food. Everything is cooked, so just a reheat.
Barbara Duncan I always chop fresh veg and freeze it.
@@amiparkins662 me too
Barbara Duncan nothing wrong with freezing fresh veg at all! You can buy frozen uncooked peppers, onions etc from the supermarket x
Meatloaf
Honey is great recipe s but no. Qualities. How much in each. Recipe. For man is hart to figure out
There's a link below to my blog where I have all the recipe ingredients and quantities :)
Putting raw meat frozen into a slow cooker is a risk of food poisoning.
None of these look good to me plus it's not enough to feed a family of four
So you had to comment that? There was no need to even respond
None of these sound good to me. Way too complicated using too many ingredients and too calorie conscious. I'm also not a fan of narrated cooking videos.
Eye roll! 🙄 So why comment?
Why watch?
