Crock Pot Freezer Meals

A friend of mine posted this link on Facebook, and I thought I'd share. A lot of these recipes involve pork, so it is perfect! Basically, it is ten crock pot freezer meals. I'm going to be making these tomorrow, and then I'll be trying them over the next few to 10 weeks. I'm pretty excited, and it is rare that I get excited over food posts on Facebook. These all looked super easy, had good ingredients (no condensed soups), and look delicious. Add that to the fact that their freezer meals that go in the crock pot?! It seems like a no-brainer to try it out. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Egg Rolls

We haven't figured out quite what to do with all our pork yet, but we really like this egg roll recipe. It uses sausage and is super easy, and it's really good.

Egg Rolls

1 lb sausage

1 bag cole slaw (14 oz.)

1 pkg. egg roll wrappers

2 T soy sauce

2 T sweet and sour sauce

Cooking oil

In large frying pan brown sausage until done. Stir in cole slaw, soy sauce, and sweet and sour sauce. Cook for about a minute, then remove from heat. Heat oil on med-high heat. In center of each egg roll wrapper use about 3 tablespoons mixture and fold sides in and roll up. Using tongs, place in oil and cook 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

*Egg roll wrappers can be found in the same cooler as the cabbage mix usually.

We usually don't end up using all of this because it makes a lot. We tried freezing the filling and the wrappers (separately) this time. I'll have to remember to let you know how it turns out.


We also love this sweet and sour sauce recipe to go with it:

Sweet and Sour Sauce

1/3 cup white or rice vinegar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 T ketchup

1 tsp soy sauce

2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 4 tsp water

Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water and add to the other ingredients. Stir to thicken.

Teriyaki Pork

1 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup Oil
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Garlic (I like to use minced garlic that you can find in the refrigerated produce section)

Mix ingredients together.  Separate in half.  Put half on top of about a pound pork to marinade.  I like to put it in a Ziploc bag so I can turn it over several times throughout the day.  After you cook the pork boil the other half to use as a sauce to top rice, peas or other veggies, the pork, pretty much your whole meal.  YUMMINESS!

This recipe can also be used for chicken, beef, whatever.
