Hey! Lots of comments coming in! Just a few things so you won't have to comment about them. I'll save you some time. 1. I say meals like mills. It's how I grew up. 2. I sometimes say Costed instead of cost. - I get nervous and sometimes it comes out wrong! ha ha ha! 3. And yes, these are not all super healthy. But we have 2 vegetables as a side dish for every meal. Moderation in all things. :) I'm just a Mom trying to get food on the table. Ha ha! 4. That's all! Thanks for your kind comments! :) Hugs! Kristen

These are great! My wife and I are senior citizens. It is sometimes hard to prep a meal for 2. My wife isn't able to cook any longer so I am tasked with co ing up with ideas and cooking meals. I am going to tr these, but will mix up one big batch, for about 6 servings and package them up into quart freezer bags and then put 3 bags into a 1 gallon bag. They should freeze longer. I think this would be a great way to fix some meals. It would also be nice to share with a sick or shut in friend. Thanks for sharing. I will be checking out more of your ideas as Super moms like you are not the only ones needing quick, easy, nutritious meals!

I'm a nurse, wife of a police officer, and mom of 4 busy & currently home/remote learning kids, so I'm kind of feeling like a chicken with my head cut off lately. I'm all about making my life easier! Thank you 💜

Just a little tip, when you finish a bottle off sauce...Just put a splash off water in the bottle and shake it... You Will get all the last sauce out and nothing is wasted ❤️ these meals are amazing! Thanks for the ideaal😁💖

My husband will be so happy when I buy those freezer bag holders. Never knew they existed! I always have him holding open the bag while I pour things in yelling at him the entire time not to move!

I'd love to see these guys plated up. Maybe a sort of realtime freezer-to-table video? 💁🏽‍♀️💕

As a retired man who always enjoyed cooking, I’m intrigued by this concept. Thanks to Sheltering at home due to Covid, I have explored baking bread, making homemade broths, different ethnic foods, and so on. It’s just my wife and I but we do love repeated some of our favorite dishes now and then like pot roast, soups, stews, pesto, Italian, Mediterranean, BBQ, Soul Food, and more. Unfortunately we have limited room in our freezer but we are intent on getting a freezer. Thank you ladies for introducing this concept. Although we prefer cooking from scratch, your methods and advice are extremely helpful.

Wow. Can't wait. These recipes were all new to me. Thx so much. I'm a Senior Citizen now, counting every penny. I have time to cook now but I LOVE the Instant Pot because I can make big batches at once, plus the meat turns out incredible, plus it uses only about 20% expense of the electric stove. I'm in Calif. You wouldn't belive what we pay for electricity. I do convert these recipes when possible to Organic meats and Organic canned stuff. At discount places like Dollar Store, Aldi, Grocery Outlet, and sometimes Kroger Stater Bros, it costs about the same. I do this because I have to , plus I prefer it. I cook big batches to freeze in order to keep electricity down, plus if I don't have to use the stove, it keeps the house cooler in the really hot summer. I live alone, so I freeze meals in a 1 serving bag. I often cook a bunch of plain side veggies like sweet potatoes and zucchini and squash, cauliflower , broccoli, ...and I store in Mason Jars in the fridge. Good for 10 days . I sometimes store my Salads this way too, but without the dressing so the lettuce stays crunchy. I appreciate all your recipes. You do so much to jazz up simple meats so I don't get bored of plain food all the the time. To save space in my little freezer I sometimes freeze 2 servings at a time so I can eat one, and then save another in fridge for the next day. Quart size bags usually. I also can freeze a serving for a sick neighbor. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THESE INCREDIBLE, TASTY, SIMPLE recipes. God bless all 6 of you and your families.

Busy mom here and I so appreciate the presentation.... sure some ingredients aren't the most healthy but it didn't say this is a non-GMO, nitrite/nitrate free, organic, non-processed, from scratch meal plan.... what this IS is a great resource for stocking your freezer for nights when you're being pulled in 30 different directions but still have mouths to feed. Schedules change, people get sick, sometimes you want to have a back-up plan. Some do want cleaner ingredients so make the swaps for what you can yourself. I still feel like most of this is way better than being handed a bag of something from someone with a nametag through a drive-up window. If you want healthier, just go make the necessary swaps. Being a keyboard commando over something they never said it was to begin with is ridiculous. Be nice people.

as a broke and usually lazy university student... this is genius!

As a working mom of five I cannot tell you how much I appreciate videos like this because I look at some other videos and they are awesome and very relaxing to look at but I don't have time to do 80 freezer meals I have to work so this is right up my alley thank you so much

I just recently got into freezer prepping, that's how I discovered this channel. The Hawaiian meatballs are incredible, I just got done prepping them for a second time! I do add a jar of spaghetti sauce to mine. I made the pork green chili that was really good. Also did the ribs I thought that sauce came out tasting excellent. 6 hours on low was probably a little too long for my slow cooker and I should have known better, next time I'm going to cook those at 4 hours.

I just found you today for the first time! Due to an illness that appears to be long term, I’ve been looking for recipes that I can hire a cook to make for my family since I’m no longer able. (I never thought I’d need the help of a cook at my age, but... here I am and life has occurred. Take nothing for granted, young folks!) You have great ideas here AND you have such a sweet and friendly atmosphere. I’ll be subscribing! 👩🏼‍🍳

Great video! Not a mom but I am a college student who also works so these pre made crockpot meals will be a lifesaver!! Thank you guys for the helpful tips and tricks ❤️

I love that you use a lot of canned ingredients. It makes everything very easy to put together, and I am a big fan of the chicken dish that has the salsa and taco seasoning, corn, black beans, and canned tomatoes. It’s one of my favorites, I forget the exact title right now, but I love to keep that on hand because it’s delicious.

I really appreciate you including the slow cooker as well as Instapot

Just my thoughts but put all except meatballs in bag, massage mix then add meatball and it will coat better. Gotta try this, love the sweet, sour aspect! Blessings!

QUESTION: Hi Sweethearts! You didn't say how long to cook the Country Style Ribs. I finally bought an instant pot, and it'll be here the first of the week. I'm watching all of your vids and writing down each recipe. You girls are a real delight and I'm enjoying your videos. THANK YOU!!!

I am a 74 year old widow, and I love freezer meals. I already have country style ribs in my freezer; I’m going to just add them with the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients! I’ll be all set!

I would recommend adding a little bit (1/8 to 1/4 cup) of water to the bbq bottles & shake 'em up so you can get as much of that sauce out of the bottles that you can for those ribs.... I will definitely be trying these recipes!

Fantastic video! My go-to recipe for IP is Chicken Tinga! Feeds a crowd, very easy and versatile. Chicken breasts 1 small can of Chipotle sauce 1 can fire roasted tomatoes 1 sliced onion Cumin Salt Pepper Cook time:35 mins

These are very easy to duplicate and also easy to substitute! I watched your video last night and made a pickup order as I watched. Picked up my items today and made the Hawaiian meatballs today over rice. Delicious. I am cooking dinner for one with leftovers for lunch & dinner the next day, and I have made 10 freezer bags so far and will be making about 8 more bags. Total: I spent $127 and these meals will last me about 50 days of lunch AND dinners! 💰🫑🧅🥩 The best thing about freezer crockpot meals is that I’m ensuring all my produce gets used & I don’t have items lingering in the refrigerator until they expire.

Our favorite IP freezer meal is Crack Chicken...it's so good! You can have it with egg noodles, turn it into a dip (the next day especially cool is amazing), make it spicy or not. It is just so easy and versatile! 4 Chicken breaststroke 1 can cream of chic with mushrooms soup 1 package cream cheese (the little bricks) 2 cups chic stock S & P to taste 2 packages of Ranch seasoning (I use 1 of the Fiesta/spicy and 1 regular) Cook 25 mins in IP if Chicken is frozen, half time is not. Quick release. Serve over egg noodles Can add veggies to the mix if you want to!

I put the crockpot liners in my CP, put everything in to it. Clamp it off & put it into 2.5 gallon ziplock bag.

I am a race director (so crazy event planner), high school cheer coach and single momma to a junior high 3 sport athlete. I can’t tell ya how much I appreciate a tutorial with recipes like these. So easy and convenient. Thank you! ❤️❤️

This was absolutely just as you said “EASY”. I’m retired and have a brand new crockpot, but I do not want to spend all day in the kitchen this is great. Thank you ladies.

I made the Hawaiian meatballs (vegetarian) tonight. Just did it in a pot and added carrots and broccoli. The vinegar addition was great! I did not use as much brown sugar as you called for maybe a 1/4 cup and all the pineapple juice in the can, I thickened the sauce with a cornstarch slurry and put over brown rice. I am looking forward to trying some other recipes here, but making them meatless. No sure the impossible meat options hold up in a crockpot, or tofu versions. I like the ideas ladies! Thanks!

I used to do this life just tossed me out of the habit of preparation for dinner in advance. Especially when your life is crazy . you ladies have done amazing ...

Having grown up in Philly, 99.9 % of the time, shaved beef on a steam table, and used American cheese. Also had sauce and onions to go on as well. Served up an Italian hogie roll. They were about 12" long.😁

Seriously, thank you so much! I’ve been busy as heck ever since my husband deployed. I work full time and was feeling guilty for the frequent fast food trips. This way I can meal prep and my boys and I can eat healthier. Much love from Colorado. Hugs and kisses

I usually do all prep on a weekly basis, don't freeze it unless I'm doing extra, and it works amazing for me! Just do a weekly meal plan, sort everything out and pop it in the slow cooker in the morning before work, always on low 😉 it's been an amazing life and time saver!! I don't have a big freezer so freezing a lot bof these wouldn't work for me but just having all the recipes and being able to assemble it in advance, and the flavours will be working its magic always turn out amazing! And i do substitute for ingredients that i feel are healthier if I feel the need to it. You girls are doing us busy women an amazing service 💜 thank you so much

I love how you girls are real about getting the off brand! I love saving by getting off brands they are always just as good :)

Ladies thank you. During this time of quarantine, these are so perfect. Look forward to more of these great ideas

I just found these videos and I’m in love. I have such a hard time trying to get good food on the table. My husband is a career Military man, and my son races 4 wheelers so we are on the go all the time. I will be able to take these to the races and when the day is over have something good and hearty to feed my guys with. Thank you girls!

27 mom of 3, I just got a deep freezer and crockpot & I liveee for these videos

This is a good way to have meals the family can make when I’m away from home. It would also work to give to friends or neighbors who are under-the-weather, or having a difficult time, etc. I was asked to help provide freezer ready meals for a new mom who couldn’t have interruptions or visitors bringing meals to her home (Health complications for baby and such). So, one person collected a week or two of dinners and made one visit. One of these would have been perfect for that. Thanks for the ideas. :)

Seal-a-meal is a game changer for freezer meals. The can last for a year in the freezer

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside kzfaq.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

These six sisters are awesome. Their parents done right raising them.

Love the video, I will reference it again and turn it into a drinking game while I'm prepping. Every time you say Krogers take a drink, every time you say instant pot take a drink... this will add some fun to the prep

Thank you ladies I started a demanding job energy wise so you and instant pot has changed my life I actually can eat now!

Not even five mins into this and I am loving this. Brilliant ideas and all done so you can grab it and put in a cooker and forget about them. Thank you ladies this is just perfect

I love this video! I'm a senior and I like making a large pot of something, then I freeze it in meal size containers. Three or 4 different meals like these and I've got my mains for a month. I just add a salad and I'm set. Thanks so much for this video. God bless you young ladies.

I'd love a link to a printable shopping list...i'll watch the video again then pause when i see the ingredients. but a link to the recipes in the video would be great! THANK YOU for so many tasty recipes by the way!! Never mind - i found the recipes! YAHOO!!!!

Having MS, being a mom, and a busy lawyer, I got so much value from this video!!!! Thank you so much! Xoxo

I’m making philly cheese steaks but with chuck roast and two Italian packets, 1/2 cup beer, 1 cup broth, 1 tbs. Worsteshire sauce, and 1/2 tsp garlic salt. Cook on low for eight hours and add the peppers and onions at last hour of cooking

I love this idea, my husband and are planning to live on our sailboat 9 months out of the year so this is a great idea for me to do at home, freeze and bring to the boat and keep in the freezer until we are ready to use them. I love using my instant pot on the boat, I just need to be aware of power usage when off shore. I love that the instant pot is faster so unlike a crockpot that would take hours and probably wouldn't work the instant pot seems to be working just fine.

I used apple cider vinegar in the meatballs for the sweetness instead of white distilled and it was amazing!

Thank you! You said "easy" and it's easy for real!! I really appreciate that... not like 100 ingredients :P

Love your recipes and the liquid tip. You could save yourself a lot of money if you use Tupperware to freeze the meals then thaw in microwave 1-2 minutes before putting in pot. Also, if you would be open to buying meatball bags that are resealable or get a hand held chip bag sealer you can just put your recipes in the meatball bags. Save money, No Tupperware no extra freezer bags.

Smoked paprika is a good substitute for liquid smoke as well in most meat dishes 😉

I use my FoodSaver for slow cooker freezer meals. They take up less room and they last for three-plus years. :-)

I've made the Pineapple Meat Balls several times. In fact, I ate the batch straight from the IP (ok, some of it was put in fridge containers). Had to make a SECOND batch so I could try it with rice; DELICIOUS!!! Y'all Be Safe!

As a vegan, I need to plan meals for my hubby that are easy - so I’m not always cooking two meals a night. What a Godsend these are.

I love you ladies, I work full time and this pandemic has made things rough. I appreciate these easy and cheap meals, and anyone who wants to lighten them up you totally can use reduced sodium or sugar free or fat free ingredients. I did it and they still taste great.

This video was probably the most helpful and realistic meal prep video I've ever watched. It's actually doable, so now I'm excited to go grocery shopping and try these out!

Adding cook times for all recipes would help a lot 😊

My BIL recently was diagnosed with cancer. He & his wife have a 10YO that she home schools. She works part-time, and he has a super stressful 60+ hr/week job. Hubby & I made 10 of your freezer meals so they would have easy dinners while he goes thru chemo. (They loved the Hawaiian meatballs!) Having been a bit intimidated by the Instant Pot, i hadn’t used it for making much more than soup. These dinners were so easy that hubby and I plan to fill our RV freezer with ready-made meals for our next trip. Thank you so much!

They are giving the fundamentals. I mean if you wanted to go for homemade salsa you can always pick some up from the Deli or make it yourself. Same with the seasonings. You can always get frozen veggies or organic canned veggies instead. Let’s just be thankful we have two ladies giving is some great ideas.

For keeping my gallon sized bags open when I'm alone in the kitchen, I kept a size 10 can that used to hold augusan farms stew. It was something I already had so I just reused it. Thanks for sharing these recipes!!!

You ladies and instant pot have to be the greatest thing that ever happened to working mothers! Heck, to ALL mothers working or not! I'm an old retired widow and I'm going to do this because cooking a meal for one is almost a waste of time. Now I can have actual meals without the long involved hassel ! THANK YOU!

THANK YOU! We are gluten free and dairy free and only substitution needed for these was coconut aminos for soy sauce (wheat in soy sauce)!!! That never happens and I'm thrilled to cook with some meats that I'm usually a little scared of! OH! And we live in FL and none of these felt heavy or wintery like most freezer meals I have found can be. Thank you!

I'm a guy in my late 20s with less and less time to cook (even tho I love to do so) vids like this have been extremely helpful. It's not just ladies that care about good food for cheap.

Jeeeeez! Some of these commenters are just miserable people. These ladies aren't forcing you to make their recipes nor do they need critiquing by a bunch of keyboard warriors who are obviously looking for quick, cheap, simple meals to make at home. I promise some of you watch vids JUST LOOKING for something to b$#%@ about. I think they did a great job and will absolutely make some of these suggestions! Keep it up, sistas😉

For thr chile verde recipe, you can actually just add everything to a blender with the salsa verde. So the onion, tomato, tomatillo, pepper, you can even add serrano, and the salsa verde. This is what my gma does, and she just puts the salsa in a jar and keeps it in the fridge. You can add vinegar to the salsa to stretch the shelf life.

Whoa! These are super easy! Will totally use these! I’m a busy full time student who also works so these are very convient! I usually just buy fast food since whenever I buy groceries they go bad in my fridge since I don’t have time to make meals😭 so these will help me save money!

as a single guy with an instapot i thank you

I am wondering if you gals might consider making one for keto lifestyle. I so need frozen meal prep ideas that will keep me on track

The seasoning for chicken tacos (even cheaper than the packets), I always have seasoned salt and cumin available. I don't measure. I just do a little dance, shake it on out and taste away. I found it to be better than any seasoned packets out there. So much flavor.

Thanks so much for this video!! I am about to give birth and have pelvic symphysis and cannot stand for long periods of time but need to fill up my freezer so my husband can feed us while recovering from my c section! This is perfect for us to have all the dinners we need on a budget and without hurting my pelvis cooking for hours 🤍

These are so awesome, my husband and I made freezer meals for our boys for Christmas, we spent almost a day and made them each 30 different meals. I love your videos and recipes, thank you

Stevia has a wonderful brown sugar. Good for dieabetics an keto diets. I use Stevia brand sugars for all my cooking. Love it!

I appreciate you gals using tomatillos and cumin for your chile verde recipe. I am currently a grad student and it is hard to find time to cook so it is nice to learn of an easy, fun way to still get a little taste from home. I really enjoy your videos. You are helping feed a young couple in California! Subscribed!

I was praying for for a miracle 🙏 then one night I saw this video and my prayers were answered. Thank you so much ❤️.

You both are my saving grace. Thanks a billion from a working mom! I love your recipes and you explain everything so well. :)

Newman’s Own is my favourite barbecue sauce, I don’t use liquid smoke, the teeny tiny amount in his sauce is enough for me 😊 I love these recipes, thank you both.

This is the first time I’ve heard of freezer meals; I cannot wait to try these!!

I'm about to have my first baby any day, and just can't thank you enough for these videos! I feel so inspired and you guys make it look so easy. You guys are the best! God bless! :)

I made the Hawaiian meatballs for dinner last night and WOW! so good! This will definitely be a go to for my family and I. It even made enough leftovers for today. Can wait to try the rest I made from this video.

I can't wait to try these recipes. Thank you so very much. Corona Quarantine is approaching and this will help us be extra prepared. That being said, may I offer you a tip from my kitchen: Regarding your Philly Cheese Steaks... if you add two tablespoons of Onion Marmalade to each bag, it will elevate your Cheesesteak recipes above the reach of even the Angels in heaven.

I LOVE THESE FREEZER MEAL IDEAS! these have been a game changer for me! Thank you six sisters for giving me the confidence to cook 😂

I am actually planning on trying some of these but swapping the frozen/prepackaged meats with fresh that we get in bulk from butchering. Still, easy recipes and great tips.

I made these when you first released this awesome video a year ago, and each meal was delicious and we enjoyed repeating them many times over. You gals are amazing and I’ve never had a meal from your channel that I didn’t love 💕. Wishing you Joy and blessings in this New Year!!!

I wish I could see the finished product of each (after it's cooked). Also, we only eat meat at home maybe once a month. I would love some easy vegetarian options! All of these looks so good!

I just tried the Hawaiian Meatballs and they're awesome! Thanks!

I made the chicken tacos and omg they were so good! My oldest daughter makes them often, she loved that recipe!

This is such a good idea for working moms! I'm retired now and need to do this, but I really think you girls have great ideas!

Thank you for sharing recipes without dairy. Love seeing all of your easy recipes, but so many are full of dairy. Hoping to see more!

Busy families everywhere would never question your use of a few conveniences 😀

One night I sat with my teen saying what should we make and we did not have taco seasoning. So he got on Google and we made our own out of my huge spice closet. He said he liked it better and it had so much less of a salty taste.....Home made is so good.

These are so simple!! I currently follow a specific diet and most of these are easy to convert for my needs. Thank you for sharing these

Brunswick's Stew is my all-time favorite during the winter or whenever it's cold outside. I usually switch it for chicken. So delicious and hearty. 🥰

Since you ladies are talking barbecue sauce, I have to plug Ole Ray’s Kentucky Red Bourbon Barbeque Sauce. This is literally the best I've ever tried. It's available on Amazon. This is such a smart idea. I freeze leftovers but haven't frozen meals. Thanks ladies!!

These recipes are so easy I thank you all so much! I'm 68 years old going to be March 17th actually and I love making things to have on hand because I'm trying to watch my weight and I'll eat a ton if I don't have a something ready to go in the microwave it really helps!it really gets me upset to go into a magazine or a cookbook that asks for tons of ingredients before you can have a meal you guys are awesome God bless you all! ♥️🙏

Thank you ladies for these quick easy meals. I’ve been struggling with working and coming home and making dinner. And sometimes we don’t eat till after 7pm. This helps so much.

I love these recipes! This is the first video I've found that fits my family perfectly. We don't eat rice at our house, and I've found that most of these dinner videos incorporate a lot of rice. And these are so so easy! I'll definitely be making these meals.

thank god hahah, I was looking for a video that had more then 1 recipe cause it takes so long to find each recipe. Awesome content

Thank you, I'm getting older and I keep two crock pots and I just ordered an insta pot. because I take care of two developmentally disabled people. I just don't have the time or energy to keep making everything from scratch. thank you again.

I just found this video. I am just getting into meal prepping because I live in a "Jack Sprat" situation and have physical issues that make cooking difficult. These recipes are all things even my mother-in-law can eat and cook if they are prepped ahead of time. Also, I finally learned the hype over instant pots, so thank you.
