10 Fast Freezer Meals in 2 Hours
By Pam Dana on August 6, 2012.
I FINALLY got around to trying some Freezer Meals with my neighbor and good friend, Jessica, from Pretty Providence. I’ve frozen meals, when I make extra, but not to where I take a few hours and make a bunch. I’ll tell you what, I will 100% do this again. I felt so good after I finished them. It went so fast and I love knowing I have some meals in my freezer that are not only quick, but GOOD!
We did it in two little sessions! One session we did Cilantro Lime Chicken w/ Corn and Black Beans, Pineapple Chicken and Creamy Beef Enchiladas!
Cilantro Lime Chicken w/ Corn and Black Beans
- 6-8 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (I used 2 Costco Pouches per bag)
4 Tbs Olive Oil
2+ Limes, juiced (I like a little more lime then the recipe calls for)
2 Cups Cilantro1 large bag of Frozen Corn (or two smaller bags)
4 minced Garlic Cloves
1 finely Chopped Red Onion
2 cans of Black Beans, drained and rinsed
2 tsp Cumin or Chipotle powder
Salt an Pepper to taste
Take ingredients and split everything into two containers.
Mix bag by shaking, seal, label and put in the freezer.
Cooking instructions:
Cook in Crockpot on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 hours.
Serve with hot tortillas and dress with sour cream, guacamole, and/or cheese.
2 T. Mustard
6-8 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (I used 2 Costco pouches per bag)
2 – 16 oz. can Crushed Pineapple or Pineapple tidbits or crushed, drained (use drained juice for above)
Out of the second session of Fast Freezer Meals we got World’s Best Chicken and Garlic Lime Chicken!

6-8 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
1 cup Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup Maple Syrup
2 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
Salt & Pepper
Season after w/ Rosemary
Clean and trim chicken and split between two Gallon Ziplock bags. Don’t worry about getting all the fat off. They are perfect for the crock-pot because the fat melts off of them and by the time they are done they fall right off the bone. If you prefer chicken breasts, you can use them.
Mix wet ingredients and seasonings and pour over chicken. Then seal, label and freeze flat.

6-8 Bone-In Chicken Thighs

1/2 Cup Lime Juice
2 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
4 Garlic Cloves, Minced
1 tsp Dry Mustard
1 tsp Ground Pepper
2 Tbs Cornstarch

So, that makes 10 Freezer Meals in about 2 hours! Pretty great, right? Plus, that means very little clean up the nights that you use them. Especially if you use Crockpot Liners like I do!
I have a bunch more recipes that I’m preparing to try out and I’ll share those when I do! I hoping to build a good resource page on freezer meals for all of you! I’d love to hear if you guys have some that you’ve tried and LOVE! Have a great week everybody!
I recommend Fast Freezer Meals! Thank you Pam
