You know that I love to save time and money. One of the best ways I can do that is by creating a meal plan. If I have a plan I am not tempted to eat out. So that is why I created this series called 1 Hour + 1 Mess = 5 Crock Pot Dinners. I can take an hour on Sunday and throw 5 dinners in a ziptop bag, freeze them, and I have dinner during the week. After I clean up from breakfast I just dump the contents of the bag into my crock pot and dinner is done! No prepping and no clean up. I love it!
All the recipes listed below have freezer instructions. But you can just add all the ingredients to the crock pot and take about 30 minutes off the cooking time.
Chicken
Spicy Chicken over Yellow Rice
Beef
Country Bob’s Crock Pot Beef Stew
Pork
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I am so glad you found theses recipes. They have helped me so much! I wish I had a budget but I don't. I usually have a lot of the stuff already in my house, soI have never needed to buy everything. Im sorry, I can't help more. I hope you enjoy the recipes!

Vegetarian? Beans? Rice? I need help with these kinds of recipes, especially a nice tasty dinner I can start in the morning and will be done in the evening using the old kind of dried beans in the bag, and vegetarian. Any of those kinds of crock pot dinners?
Your other recipes sound delish, but not my style. :)

I have been asked before to try some recipes but I haven't found anything that works for me. I am not a big fan of beans - I don't like the mushy texture. I will see if I can find a list of vegetarian recipes to share. Thanks for the idea :)
