    Thanks for the freezer meal ideas. I am giving my adult children/grandchildren freezer meals for Christmas. They work, don't have time to cook . This will make meal time easy, all they have to do is drop in slow cooker before they leave for work

      That’s a great gift idea!! I have a chicken freezer meal prep coming next week and then will have a huge soup freezer prep after that😁😁

      I'm doing the same for my son and his wife. I'm making them a bunch of freezer meals and soups to have.

    I don’t know why I have always shied away from meal prep, I guess in my mind it was much more complicated. These look great and with just a little time you can save a lot of time. Thanks sis for another awesome video!

    You r so darn organized 😮I thought I was, I’m not a prepper, but I can see this really saves time and is great to just pull a meal out and it’s all there!! 👍I’m not even half way through, great idea!

      I’m far from organized, but I’m trying to get there!! The older I get, the less I can tolerate chaos and clutter lol. This is definitely a time saver and it’s been so nice to just dump something in the crockpot and not have to think about it😁😁

    I'm so glad you showed those Half Gallon Freezer Bags! I didn't even know they made that size! There have been so many times I've needed a smaller-sized freezer bag, but didn't have one. Thanks! 😊😊😊

    I re0use my ziplock bags 6, 7, 8 times sometimes. I am willing to pay extra for the Ziplock brand because they are made stronger and thicker so you can re-use them.

    I reuse plastic bags too unless they had raw meat in them(I cut up peppers,onions, do garlic pucks,and even pesto pucks saves time. I do my beef tips that same way and yes they are fabulous ❤❤

    What a great video. I do try to prep my veggies and freeze. I've never done a whole meal in a bag. I have GOT to start doing this! I have been know to go ahead and cook down my onion, celery, and bell pepper in a stick of butter and freeze a few weeks before Thanksgiving dressing time. Still tastes great. I have never made Mississippi anything because of the heat. You said kids could eat it so I'll give it a try. 😊

    Suggestion, why not cook your ground beef now and put it in a zip lock (still separate from your other ingredients) to save time later... I often buy 10 pounds of ground beef at a time...Cook it up and separate it into one pound packages for my freezer... I'm with you. I really dislike big chunks of cooked ground beef! lol
    I do put the uncooked pasta in a zip lock and put it in with everything else, so all the ingredients are "right there together".

    I am so glad that I came across your video. Absolutely love it. Can’t wait to get into our new house or I’ll have a bigger kitchen so I can do this for my family and for my neighbor who were taking care of her watching to make sure she’s OK, I wish you had this all in a book that I can just refer to but if not, that’s fine. I can print stuff out and watch you again. You take care.

    Just found your channel tonite from the Rice-A-Roni video. Thank you for sharing this! My husband and I cook for 2... and we both work. Ugh, and yes sometimes get mad when the other person doesn't help out with the meals. Every single one of these recipes, we have made from another recipe (I just found you), but the information you provide is a life lesson. Thank you for the inspiration to get my butt in the kitchen on a few of my days off to get freezer packs put together that I can work with. Have a blessed day
