How to reheat crockpot freezer meals?

All of these recipes are made ready to throw into your slow cooker on any given morning. Just defrost overnight in your refrigerator and empty the bag into your slow cooker in the morning.

If you don’t have time to thaw it out overnight, I recommend placing the bag in a container of cool water. Change the water every 10 minutes until thawed.

Can you put frozen food in the crockpot?

It’s not recommended to put frozen meat in the crockpot. Because it cooks at such a low temperature, harmful bacteria could be introduced into your food. It’s best to thaw out the food overnight in your fridge.

If you are wanting to dump and go with frozen meals, then we highly recommend checking out our list of frozen chicken recipes for the instant pot.

How do you pack meals for a freezer?

We love using zip-top freezer bags or food saver bags for our crockpot freezer meals. If making casseroles for your freezer, we recommend using disposable foil casserole pans.

Freeze the bag flats and then stand them up to save space. If frozen flat, they can be stuffed into extra nooks and crannies you may have in your freezer. If you are new to making freezer meals, we recommend you read our post on planning a freezer cooking day.

Are Ziploc bags safe for freezing?

Yes, they work really well in the freezer! They are safe for freezing food, as long as you are using the specific freezer bags. There are also reusable silicone freezer bags that we found on Amazon!
