What I LOVE about these particular freezer meals is that they are very quick to assemble and can be made with pantry staple ingredients. Only one requires a few fresh veggies and some chopping! For the rest, just purchase your protein and assemble. In an hour’s time, you’ll have your freezer stocked with an assortment of nutritious and tasty meals that you can pull out at a moment’s notice.
For all of these recipes, I use one-gallon freezer bags. This nifty gadget holds bags open for you and helps you avoid messy spills! And for quick clean-up, try these slow cooker liner bags.
