Want to simplify your dinner routine?  Stock your freezer with easy crockpot freezer meals!  Here are 25 crockpot freezer meals with five ingredients or less.25 Crockpot Freezer Meals with Five Ingredients or Less

Crockpot freezer meals are a busy mom’s best friend.  With three young children (and a fourth on the way), I get really excited when I come up with new recipes that are delicious, healthy, and don’t require a lot of ingredients.  Fewer ingredients means less measuring, less chopping, and less money spent at the grocery store.

A win-win-win.

All of the recipes in my upcoming crockpot freezer meal eCookbooks will have 10 ingredients or less, and I decided to put together a list of recipes with FIVE ingredients or less.  These are all recipes that my family has tried and loved.

25 Crockpot Freezer Meals with Five Ingredients or Less

A lot of other websites will give you easy crockpot recipes that call for a bottle of store-bought dressing and a can of soda pop, but I’d like to think the recipes below are healthier than that.  I’m not opposed to using those ingredients on occasion, but I want this list of crockpot freezer meals to make your life easier on a regular basis.

To make these crockpot freezer meals, here are some items that I always have on hand.  It just makes putting them together that much easier when I’m ready to go.

  • Crockpot
  • Baggy Rack – makes it easy to pour all ingredients in without spilling everywhere
  • Stand and Fill Slider Gallon Bags –  love these bags that stand up, you can write info on and slide
  • Hanging trash bag holder – hook this on the side to easily clean up while you’re preparing

Crockpot Freezer Meals

Here are 25 crockpot freezer meals that require five ingredients or less.  I’ve tried all of them myself and can vouch that they’re delicious too.  Enjoy!

  1. Salsa Verde Chicken
  2. Lime Shredded Pork
  3. Stuffed Peppers
  4. Macaroni and Cheese
  5. Shredded Beef and Carrots (our favorite!)
  6. Lasagna Soup
  7. Party Pork Roast
  8. Chicken Tacos
  9. Lemon Pepper Chicken
  10. Ginger Peach Chicken
  11. Hawaiian Chicken
  12. Basic Pot Roast
  13. Sausage-Stuffed Mini Sweet Peppers
  14. Meatball and Veggie Soup (you can replace the bullion + water with broth)
  15. Pork and Sauerkraut
  16. Banana Pepper Shredded Beef
  17. Apricot Ginger Chicken with Green Beans
  18. Cranberry Pork Roast
  19. Mississippi Roast from Table for Two (I omit the water)
  20. Pepperoncini Shredded Beef
  21. Chicken Teriyaki
  22. Hot Pepper Pork Sirloins and Butternut Squash
  23. Pot Roast with Green Beans  (you can add chopped carrots and potatoes)
  24. Mexican Chili with Cornbread Topping
  25. Ham and Pinto Bean Soup

A lot of these recipes are from freezer prep sessions that I’ve done this year so I typed up exactly how I prep and freeze each meal into a printable pdf.  I also included a super detailed grocery list in case you want to prep all of them at once.

I like to serve my easy freezer meals with simple side dishes like steamed broccoli or a salad and rice.  (I even use those microwaveable rice packs on occasion when I’m short on time.  Shhhhh.)

Thoughts or questions?  Please leave a comment below and I’ll respond as soon as I can.  I’d love to hear from you.

    Hi, these all look delicious! I wanted to try the Hot Pepper Sirloin with Butternut Squash but it links to stuffed peppers. :(

      I am so sorry about that, Nancy. I’m not sure how it happened, but I messed up a couple of the links. I went through all of them and made sure they are correct now. I apologize for the inconvenience!

    #20 Pepperoncini shredded beef recipe takes me to stuffed peppers. ? Was hoping for something new since I normally use these peppers with salads, meat/cheese plates and when making “firecrackers”. Thanks!!!

    I hope most of these don’t involve cooking the meat first…the point is to save time!! But I can’t wait to look, and I won’t hold it against you if they do. Because I don’t know you, and I’m not a troll. ;)

      I have taken a look, and I am in love with you!! I stayed at home for 11 years, and have just recently had to start working. I have *always* cooked from scratch, but there is no energy left at the end of the day (when its time to make dinner!). Thank you for *even* making the grocery list. Dinner is where my guilt and nostalgia hurts the most, and this really helps!

    These all look fantastic and I am anxious to try many of them! One note, your Chicken Teriyaki #21 link takes me to your stuffed pepper recipe. Would love to see your Chicken recipe. Thanks for putting these all together!
