meal

s too, but I wanted two more. of the chicken, the others are different flavors, uh, let's see, this is a 10 pound bag of potatoes for 10 pounds. I only have a couple of potatoes left from that big box our friend brought from Idaho, so I needed more for these frozen meal recipes. I'm using rotisserie chicken, it's already cooked, we're going to slice it, prepare it for our meals, It was easier this way a lot of my frozen meal recipes, I use all my chicken frozen so they will get They were sold out on a frozen meal coming up, but I wanted ready-made chicken.

Oh, and the roast chicken is so good, so grab three of those. I needed some vegetable broth, so I have three cans of vegetable broth. A little fresh cilantro. Two red onions. Two bags of frozen mix. vegetables this is for the casserole with the filling this is eight ounces yes eight ounces of sour cream two blocks of cream cheese I would definitely buy more of this for the holidays that's on my holiday list a little more ready whip and a half gallon of milk whole so this is what I needed to make these freezer meals and prep some veggies so move on to the next step so I know some of the meals I'm going to make for the freezer meal so I'm going to share with you that Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef Dump Recipe and that's it.

I love a good Begolian beef recipe. Add it with, you know, put broccoli with that is out of this world, so bake the chicken filling. It's basically your stovetop chicken casserole recipe. This is a slow cooker. tomato soup my youngest daughter loves tomato soup buffalo chicken baked pasta I've seen so many recipes for this that it caught my eye, it sounds like you could make a whole meal out of it or it could be a side dish that you could take it with . a shared luck, that's what I'm focusing on now for these frozen meals, friends, let me introduce you to Mason.

This is Mason's new chef's knife, so I'm using it for the first time here with you and us. Let's see how well it cuts and slices. The Mason company's mission is to truly inspire and enable great cooking. They believe that better tools create better cooking experiences, which is so true, so true, that it's so hard when you're trying to cut. or cut something when you don't have a good knife. Mason takes a simple approach with its products, high-quality, durable knives at a fair price. This helps create amazing meals in our home and I love how I can cut things super thin. really nice and so far to you guys, I really like how it feels, it feels really good, I'm nervous because it's super sharp, yeah knives on me are not the best of friends so finding one that feels good in my hand is incredible.

It feels very good, this is doing a very good job. I feel like I have control with this knife. A mison chef knife is designed to replace a complete set of knives. Well, this is doing a very good job. I'm really enjoying it, so I'm very happy. Impressed, this has a unique slanted handle for easier and safer cutting and I think that's true. I feel very confident using it, which is why Mison knives are made from premium materials such as high quality stainless steel and this helps them stay sharper for longer and last longer. for life and are two to three times less expensive than any other premium brand, so I noticed that the chef's knife has over 6,500 five-star reviews.

If so many people like it, why wouldn't we if you want to update it or I think this would be a good gift for an upcoming wedding or Christmas gift. Go to meeson.com. She's in her apron and gets 20 off your first order. I think my daughter and her husband will get one for Christmas first. We have slow cooker Mongolian beef, okay, so I'm just going to use this bowl. I have those ziploc bag holders, but I don't know, today I'm just going to do this, just put something in there that can hold a tall bowl or whatever, just to hold your bag.

I'm using about a pound and a half of skirt steak, you'll just slice them thinly. Okay, add the skirt steak that you cut and then you're going to add a quarter cup of cornstarch. However, I'm going to mix this in with my cornstarch, this will help thicken the sauce and then this is really easy. Throw and use Mongolian beef recipe. This is fantastic, so two tablespoons of olive oil I'm going to chop it up like I don't know half of it. a teaspoon of minced garlic, can you see Paige's head right there? See Paige? She's always with me when I cook, so they'll need half a teaspoon of peel and fresh chopped ginger, but, the ginger she had, I thought.

It could last a little longer, but no, so I'm just going to put in some squeezed ginger. So you will need 3 4 cups of soy sauce 3 4 cups of water 3 4 cups of brown sugar, you need about half a cup of grated carrot and your green onion, sliced, Harvard chopped, of course, you could use scallions, very easy, TRUE? Let me give this a good mix, it smells really good guys, and then when you do this, you're going to cook a little bit. rice and serve it with rice, this one is easy, now you will just remove all the air from it, put it in the freezer and you will be ready whenever you want to make it, take it out the day before and start defrosting it.

If it's a little frozen when you put it in your slow cooker, you're fine, it's going in the freezer. Okay, when it's time to cook it and it's all thawed, throw it in your slow cooker, so cook on low for four to five hours. or tall for two or three, okay, this is ready, it smells so good, guys, so I made some rice, oh, delicious, look at that, guys, it tastes amazing, amazing, Derek already ate a plate, it's so good, so tasty. You definitely know the taste. it's on point and I've made a lot of Mongolian beef recipes with slow cooker freezer food and I mean and I think this one takes the cake oh the beef is so tender guys it's delicious and it goes amazing with broccoli, so I wait.

Give this recipe a try, it's very good, okay, let's make a tomato soup in a slow cooker and that's it. I like to use these large gallon ice cream containers for my soup, so I probably have about four on hand in my food storage room. so we're going to use one of these to throw everything in so we're just going to throw everything in, put this in your freezer and then when it's time to cook it, you're going to defrost it and throw it in your slow cooker okay? so I'm going to use cans of diced tomatoes, these are 14.5 ounces, you're going to need about 45 ounces for this recipe, but I'm just making, I'm making three cans of this dumpster, all of this in I'm going to add a cup of diced carrots and then I'll use three cups of chicken broth.

I have three cans of these, we'll measure them out and get three cups. You don't have to use vegetable broth. Go ahead and use chicken broth. and then half a cup of chopped onion so here I have a bunch of seasonings that I have I have a bay leaf a teaspoon of dried thyme a teaspoon of dried oregano half a teaspoon of garlic powder but I upped it to a teaspoon and a half teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon black pepper okay I also chopped up some basil just use as much as you want and then when it's done if you want to add more go ahead and add more because you're going to use an immersion blender or put it in a blender that you have and it's going to emulsify it, so I'll probably end up putting fresh garlic in later, but you know? along with that garlic powder I'm going to add a little more fresh garlic.

You'll need two-thirds cup of whole milk and then four tablespoons of butter and I'm using unsalted butter. Okay, mix this up. Put the lid on. You can also put this in a large ziploc bag. Split it if you want. throw this in your freezer ready to go when it's time to cook, just thaw it, the day before, even if it's partially thawed, when you put it in your slow cooker, you'll be fine, this is going to cook just fine. You can cook on low for seven to eight hours or on high for five hours the tomato soup is ready so what we're going to do is blend this together you can put it in your blender or if you have one of those immersion blenders , get this. all mixed together, oh look, it still has little bits in it, but it's okay, oh look, you can sprinkle some fresh basil on top, add your favorite crackers and there you have it, a rich and comforting tomato, pot tomato soup slow cooker, shaylee, my youngest son loves tomato. very good soup guys try it mmm ok we are going to bake pasta with buffalo chicken and we will need two cups of raw penne pasta or you can substitute cauliflower if you want so we can cook them completely o You could cook them until they are almost al dente to put them in the freezer.

Either way, it will work fine. I'm going to drizzle a little olive oil so it doesn't stick. This will feed six people. um, I've never done this before. I could have made more for my family, but it will be fine, so make batches as big as you like, place them in foil pans, and you're ready to put in the freezer. This is a complete bar. of cream cheese eight ounces I'm going to add softened, I start with softened, then you're going to need 3 4 cups of ranch dressing. I'm using Hidden Valley Ranch. Use any hot sauce you have or want.

I'm using Frank's hot wings. buffalo sauce and you're going to need a third of a cup of that, we're going to stir this until it's creamy. I ran out of my SD card, so I'm not showing it to you, but you do need half a cup of mozzarella cheese and half a cup. of cheddar cheese you can put this on a foil tray, cover it with foil, put a label on it and stick it in your freezer, but I'm going to cook this one right now. I'm going to have a little more cheddar cheese. put that on top and then I'll have more mozzarella put that on top when it's time to bake we're going to bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes you can cook it straight from frozen put it in the oven at 375 degrees it's usually for 20 minutes You'll probably have to double that or more, or You could take it out a few hours before the defrosting process starts or the night before, so it's fine to put it straight into the oven frozen.

It's just going to take longer, so okay, this one's going to be 20 minutes, check that out and then we'll add it in with some green onions. Oh how good, it smells amazing, serve it along with your favorite vegetables and that's it. Oh my goodness, delicious, delicious, so good, it has a very delicious touch and lastly, we have baked chicken filling. You'll need a box of stuffing mix and then you'll need one and two-thirds cups of hot water. Pour that. finish and we're going to let this sit for a minute okay we're going to set it aside in my bowl here we're going to start adding the rest okay you're going to need a can of either cream of chicken soup. cream of mushroom soup with cream or celery.

I'm using cream of mushroom soup if you want to make your own go ahead but it's supposed to be quick and easy. Okay, so you're going to add a third cup of milk and give it a mix. This is one of my family's favorites. This is one of our favorites. I'm testing the filling doing it this way. I have never done it before. Just put the water in and leave a baby. Let's try. Don't know. Well, to that I'll add my chicken. I have two pounds of ground chicken. I have brisket here, dark meat is very good and then I'll add a packet of frozen vegetable mix.

You can have this without it. but add vegetables and increase that deliciousness, okay, prepare your baking dishor an aluminum pan, drop your mixture in and then grab the filling. I usually make two boxes of filling. I usually cook my filling beforehand and then put it in. I read a recipe where they wet the filling with just hot water and then put it in, so I'm going to try this version and see how it goes, then you'll wrap it, put a label on it, and then when it's time to cook, put it in the refrigerator and bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

I am using cooked chicken. I always use cooked chicken for this recipe so if you don't want to cook it you can fine but I always cook mine so you'll cook it for 45 minutes at 375 degrees wrap it up and put it in the freezer so it was an interesting way to make the filling worked, but it's not fluffy, so I'll continue doing it this way. No, I will do it in my usual way, following the instructions. I usually cook it in the microwave and it comes out all fluffy. so this is my only complaint about trying that version that I saw so I won't be making that again but look at that delicious hearty
