What’s included in these recipes?
- 10 ingredients or less
- Vegetables
- A delicious taste (We tried them all and gave them two thumbs up.)
These are all really easy recipes to throw in the crockpot in the morning. I’m also a big fan of assembling 7-10 at a time and freezing them for later. There’s seriously nothing easier than dumping an already-made meal into the crockpot. No chopping, measuring, or messes. Woot!
Nervous about mixing raw meat and vegetables? Don’t worry – it’s perfectly safe. I did a lot of research when I was writing my No-Cook Freezer Meals Cookbook eBook and the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service explains that freezing inactivates any microbes present in food (like bacteria, yeasts, and molds). You cook the food before eating it too, so you’re good to go. (More info on food safety here.)

Oh, and if you’ve had issues with chicken drying out in your crockpot, I recommend cooking them for less time. I only cook chicken breasts for 3-4 hours in my 6-quart crockpot or 6-8 hours in my 4-quart crockpot. My 6-quart has a programmable timer, so I set it in the morning and then let it sit on warm for the rest of the day. Works perfectly.
