Are those just zip lock bags?

Yes, gallon-sized ziplock freezer bags. I buy them in bulk at BJ's wholesale club.

@TC - there are plenty of others that use beef, pork, etc. I've never tried any with seafood.

nice!!! I did crock pot pepper steak and three big bags of chicken/broccoli/brown rice casserole over the weekend :)

hoping to do some more

this weekend.

I love making freezer meals. Just recently made cilantro lime chicken, broccoli chicken Alfredo, teriyaki chicken, creamy Italian chicken, and bbq chicken ?

I need to do this! Give me recipes, op! Lol

Approximately how many chicken breasts is 2 lbs? I wish they laid it out even easier....like how measures squash by pounds? Yes, I'm lazy. Lol.

Amazing! You're my hero! ?

This is awesome! Good job op! I wanted to do something similar so that I wouldn't have to cook for a while after giving birth but my so wasn't too fond of the idea and he said he would cook instead. Of course he didn't come through when the time came. I definitely kicked myself, would've saved me alot of trouble.

I'm planning to do this when I have my daughter. My fiancé has to eat lol .. And I honestly wouldn't trust that man trying to find a meal in the kitchen on his own smh.

UGH! Lol I'm getting off my lazy rump and going to finally do this geez!

Just the recipes alone seem to be very tasty lol.

Thanks for that link.

Yes, it's pretty easy, just takes time to prep.

First, you prepare the bags. Write the name of the meal and any other steps you need once it's time to cook (such as cooking time, anything else that needs to be added, and what you should serve over). Then prep all the food (cut up all produce, chicken, etc), put in bag and add all other ingredients (like seasonings). Store flat in freezer.

When it's time to cook, take it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge the night before to thaw. Then put in the crock pot the next morning! It doesn't need to be thawed all the way. It's super easy!

@solmari - it just depends on the size of chicken. Usually when you buy a BIG pack of chicken, each breast can be 1-2 lbs. What I do is divide the total number of breast by the total pound. So if it there are 5 breasts and it's a 6 pound pack of chicken, each breast weighs about 1.2lbs. Unless you can see that 1 or 2 of the breasts are significantly larger.

I just eyeball it.

This is such a great idea!! I think I'm going to do this!!

I'm going to be doing this as well!

We had dinner #2 tonight and it was soooooooo good!

How long does this stay good for? I'm always so weird about eating frozen food how do you know when it goes bad?

Meat can stay good frozen for 1 year. Some people freeze it longer than that but I stick to one year (although meat rarely stays in my freezer that long before we eat it)!

Time to buy a crock pot, now that OP has taught me what to do with it! Lol

I put the chicken in raw. The crock pot cooks it.

Omg I'm so doing this when its time for baby number 2??

If you don't mind, can you give an estimate of the total cost for the meals you prepared?

These 10 meals cost me about $120. I will tell you that some of these fed my family for three nights or more. It was way more than 10 meals, turned out to be more like 20+.
