Slow cooker freezer bag meals

[Amaunet]

I have seen lots pinned on Pinterest, but I've not tried them yet. It's a great idea!

Ooh that's ideal for me right now! I did see an article or something yonks ago about cutting cooking time, where a Sunday was spent doing all prep. Can't for the life of me find it now though!

So I'll keep looking but in tHe meantime I'm subbing for ideas

Also, do you put the stuff in frozen? Or transfer to the fridge the night before to defrost a bit?

Wow that sounds like an awesome idea!

I have lots of these pinned . But, I haven't tried them yet, all I can find are American recipes, which aren't to my taste, or I haven't bothered to ... Um.... Transcribe? To metric.

Anyway, am trying to write out a few recipes to try, so far have a (from scratch) honey mustard chicken (cook sauce beforehand, cool, combine with raw chicken and veg), and there was something else I had too. Even have all my freezer bags ready! (Found double zip lock bags, in a big size, yay)

Also interested to know if anyone has had a go at it. I would defrost each bag in the fridge the morning before too (so 24 hours, I hate putting frozen stuff in my sc).

Nice to see you back Netix The mustard chicken sounds good though, we like that here! Gonna go try to find some recipes - I think the article I read was American too - and reckon defrosting is a good idea, with chicken I'd want to make extra sure it's cooked really well.

Yep, a lot of the recipes I've seen so far are American and have put me off a little with their pound and ounces thing, maybe I should put a little more effort in to finding some!

Teeki, make sure you share your findings
