You might remember how a couple of weeks ago I made 7 Chicken Slow Cooker Meals in 30 Minutes. Well, the next day I made 5 Beef Slow Cooker Meals in just 20 minutes. It is too fun.
This is the easiest, fastest, most fun freezer cooking I’ve ever done. Plus, these freezer meals keep saving my neck on busy days. I just pull a bag out of the freezer and throw the contents into the crock pot. I add some veggies to the table in the evening, and we are set.
Here are a few pictures of my 5 beef meals in 20 minutes prep. They aren’t pretty, but at least it’s better than looking at pictures of mannequins in my office. (Ain’t that the truth.)
5 Meals in 20 Minutes
First I took my printed copy of Eat Right Away: Slow Cooker Beef Edition and put the ingredients for the Hawaiian Beef and Rice directly into the crock pot. That would be for dinner that day – you know, since I was so busy spending another 17 minutes making 4 more meals. Obviously, I was exhausted after that and couldn’t possibly think about cooking our evening meal.
Next, I labeled freezer bags and started filling them with ingredients for the other four packet recipes.
This process is so fascinating to witness. Lookie at the meat with Onion Soup Mix and other ingredients splashed into a bag. Ooh. Aah.
A grand total of 20 minutes later, dinner was in the crock pot and four other meals were ready for the freezer.
Read about our Eat Right Away Packets here.
We’ve got four packets (a total of 20 recipes!) all organized and ready for you to work with! I cannot tell you how great these are to work with. Actually, I guess I did just tell you. Go get your packets. They’ll save you time and money!
What’s that cut of meat you’re using for your Hawaiian dinner? The shiny-ness makes it look like liver. I would love if you could share a post sometime on how you cook organ meats! We are finishing our first side of beef and I’ve really enjoyed finding ways to use liver, heart and tongue, but I’m always looking for more ideas!
Ugh, I wish I liked organ meats. But no, it’s just beef. The shininess you see is the sauce I put on top. :)
