These are awesome. Most crock pot meal recipes I have seen are nothing but dairy and canned soups or powdered seasonings high in sodium. Thank you for making these so healthy!
FINALLY!!! I found ACTUAL dump and go slow cooker recipes without any extra steps! This is exactly what I was looking for! Other channels would tell me to brown the meat on the stove before adding it to the slow cooker or take something out to shred it only to add it back in. All I want to do is add everything and take it out 8 hours later. Based on these recipes, now I know what I can do to create my own personal recipes.
This is the best slow cooker recipe video I have found so far. This is real whole food cooking. Nothing premade from a mix, box, or can. Using all that stuff isn't cooking from scratch, and this video proves that cooking from scratch doesn't have to be hard. This is healthy, delicious real food. Just what I was looking for.
I made the coconut lamb + lentil curry modifying the portion of meat to lentils (dad is a meat eater) and slightly less curry and more peas (for me). I loved it and mom and dad asked for leftovers for the week. I love leftovers. I am making the fajita beef for them this weekend. Thanks for the healthy and delicious ideas.
Thank you for this easy to prep for slow cooker. I'm working at a cafe in Eugene Oregon and have been having a difficult time getting my soups made every day. This is a huge help for me.
Thank you! This video has given me so many ideas for our camping trip. I can prep whole meals at home and simply pack up the completed freezer bags. Genius!
I cooked the beef fajitas and cilantro lime chicken using a pre packaged seasoning packets and had 2 easy dinner nights. Looking forward to trying some of the other recipes, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing more meal prep that is low-key lazy! I think it will be getting easier for people to jump on the meal planning/prepping band wagon right now, b/c everyone is being even more conscious of their budget than before! Also, a tip for you from some who has also been meal prepping for years and is also a hard core believer! Have you ever tried rolling the tops of your bags to keep them open better and add a little more stability while you fill them? I am always thinking of mentioning that when I watch your vids. You roll the top out, and make like a "cuff", it helps keep the bag from getting in the bag or falling closed while you fill.
Thank you! I may not be a fan of squash OR black beans, but your recipes have unlimited substitutions for those few items. Love my instant pot BUT also love my crock pot. I can imagine (I work from home) having those delicious scents wafting through the air!
These are awesome ideas! I love how well thought out your videos are and how aesthetically pleasing they are, they’re so beautifully done. Who does your recording and editing? I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and the quality has always been and continues to be top notch!!
My fave is a asian style red curry pot roast with Yukon golds bok choy and other veggies depending on what partials I have in the fridge. Also just wanna say thanks for the continued dedication and quality content over the years. Not sure how your not the biggest healthy all around food channel but I'm glad you love what you do for us and you still care so many years later. You literally taught me how to eat and cook healthy and I was a decent chef when I first started watching you! I cant thank you enough.
I can't decide between the lamb curry and Tuscan chicken soup for my next crock pot meal. They both look so good! I'll definitely be adding barley to the chicken soup. Yum!
Wow this is Fantastic! I love with your presentation. Your recipe looks delicious and easy to follow. You make this look easy. I’m gonna try to make this. Your a very talented creator. I make you tube cooking videos too and I love to learn from others like you. I am looking forward to future videos! 👍🏻
sure! These can be done by anyone staying home, or going out! You don't have to be home to monitor a slow cooker, and if you are home-your house will smell great! :)
Great recipes. I'm going to try your beef fajitas but I'm going to put most of the seasonings on the meat instead of the veggies to marinate it inside the ziplock bag. New subscriber here!
I love using the crockpot for so many different reasons. All of those recipes look delicious. My favorite thing to make in the crockpot is my vegan chili:) Hope all is well with you Alyssia!
Could probably do it on the pressure setting but you would have to test and make sure things are done. That's the one thing I'm learning about pressure cooking, esp since I got an off brand and it only had a few things listed and not like per pound or ounce so I'm learning.
Just got your recipe e-book. Trying to get back in to shape and so busy with work I HAVE to meal prep if I'm gonna do this. Crockpot frozen prep is perfect! Thanks for doing this! Headed to the grocery store excited for my new journey!
Im finally on my own as an adult and want to start cooking and this seems like a good place to start. One thing im confused on is how you add everything from the bag and cook it then when its done it seems like theres a bunch of juice in the crock pot? did you add water or broth before you cooked it?
If you put everything in a slow cooker liner & then put the liner inside of a 2.5 gallon ziplock bag. I put my liner in the crockpot, fill, wind and tie off. Then I put everything in the ziplock bag. I picked up 48 liners & 2.5 gallon ziplock bags from Amazon
I'm gonna try the Cilantro Lime Chicken today! Replacing the green bell pepper with Poblano pepper because I absolutely love them, keeping the yellow bell pepper. I will update to let everyone know how it turned out.
These are great. Could you do 3 Instant Pot specific meals with the macros. Do you have any Instant Pot recipe ebooks with macros for sale? Or could you do a video showing us how to calculate macros for Instant Pot recipes?
these recipes are all in my ebook with macros :) I haven't done one yet for the instant pot but can do that soon. I have done a "how to calculate nutrition" video before.
Silly question - when I cook I always sweat my onions and sauté garlic before adding other ingredients. Is there a significant difference in taste by adding onion and garlic to the slow cooker raw vs already-cooked? Obviously raw is easiest.
I remember reading a comment just a bit ago actually on one of these types of videos where someone said that when they used raw onions in their crockpot that they definitely noticed a funny taste to it. The channel owner/chef said that they hadn’t noticed that personally themselves, but that if the commenter does, they might want to just sautée up some onions (and garlic if you wish) in advance and freeze them to use when needed. Just maybe divide the cooked onions into bags of a half of an onion per ziploc freezer bag or something so that you have an idea of how much is in each bag and can easily be accessible for different recipes.
Sooo... What did you do with all these cooked meals? Lol! Really curious! 😄 thank you for your videos. That's a lot of work from prep to presentation, recording, editing. So amazing! 😄
lol!! We eat some, but also give away a lot to friends and distribute the food between our small crew :) Thank you so much!! I appreciate you being here.
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I joined a FB group, but was so disappointed, lots of recipes with butter and sour cream. I wanna eat better and work less, is that too much to ask for?? I am trying 2 of your recipes tonight 😁
These are so awesome! I wish there was a way to program the slow cooker to defrost the food and start the cooking at a certain time of the day if you're out of the house for more than 8 hours (work, commute time, etc).
#mindovermunch Did you just say 8 hour’s to cook low & slow! Thanks you so much girl for dropping this tweed! I still kind of struggle with knowing how to eat properly and maintenance body weight..while working 3-11:30pm. This is a go for me. #wellapreciateit
For anyone wondering about using the slow cooker setting on your instant pot, read your manual. The slow cooker setting on the model I have doesn't get as hot as my actual slow cooker so I have to add additional time and make sure it's adjusted to the hottest setting.
Yes, my instant pot does NOT work as a slow cooker even with the special lid. After investigating I realized the heat from an instant pot comes from only the bottom whereas a slow cooker is around the sides too. IMO it's not even safe to use the IP as a crock pot (if you're doing meat anyway.) Found this out after making a chili and after 8 hours it was not cooked. I contacted instant pot but nonetheless. Beware!
I haven't tried these in the instant pot, they can probably be done on the slow cook setting. I don't prefer the instant pot, I think it doesn't add the same flavor cooking it quickly. Lamb especially tastes good cooked for a longer time :)
I wish you showed how much of each you put in, as I never cooked lentils in my crockpot before and don't know how much you used or how much liquid you used.
What’s your favorite thing to make in the slow cooker??!
Lentil Tortellini Soup, and Sloppy Joe's are the crockpot favorites in this house.
Yeah! Great choices! Hope you're well, Kim!
Mississippi pot roast is always yummy!
Beef and black bean chili
Pulled pork bbq, chili, rice pudding, pot roast, soups, shepherds pie, Mac and cheese, baked beans, pretty much everything
0:51 Beef Chili
1:53 Fajita Beef
3:09 Coconut Lamb + Lentil Curry
4:55 Cilantro Lime Chicken
5:57 Pineapple Asian Turkey
7:05 Vegan White Bean Chili Soup

I came to the comments to write this and you just saved me some time!!! Thanks!!!

These are awesome. Most crock pot meal recipes I have seen are nothing but dairy and canned soups or powdered seasonings high in sodium. Thank you for making these so healthy!
thank you! :)
I loved the yin/yang detail with the salt and pepper at 5:13.
I just suffered a spine injury and can’t slave over a stove so these recipes are a LIFE SAVER! Thank you!!
Sorry to here that, feel better soon!
Sorry to hear that , hope you're feeling better soon.
Lord my heart goes it to you.
Believe you are healed. I’m 2 yrs post spine and hip injury and I’m able to stand and cook again. You can do this!
My husband is a T5 complete and loves his crockpot for easy access
Feel better Laura🌸🌼☀️

Love this!!! I needed " dump and go" without the creamy soups and with better nutrition
I’m here in almost 2021, striving to be my best cooking self.✨
I think this is just what I needed!
Thank you 💕
The slow cooker is one of my most favourite kitchen equipment in the kitchen!

Your doing patriotic work here. We need healthier options then just a hamburger. 😁🇺🇲

This is genius, and exatcly what I was looking for! I"m so glad you posted this, I'm going to eat like a king for the rest of the week.
Just started a new life adventure of living by myself so I am so looking forward to these
thats very important

YASSSS

These all look incredible - next trip to the store I'm gonna give one of these a try! Thank you for sharing!
They look delicious. How do I know the quantities? I want to try the coconut lamb. Thank you.

Worcestershire is pronounced wuster sher 🙂
Thanks for some great ideas! 🤗
I am just getting into meal prep and have found a lot of success with it. I just bought a slow cooker. I hope to use some of these recipes
These would be great for those who have work instead being able to to stay indoors.
sure! These can be done by anyone staying home, or going out! You don't have to be home to monitor a slow cooker, and if you are home-your house will smell great! :)
Great recipes. I'm going to try your beef fajitas but I'm going to put most of the seasonings on the meat instead of the veggies to marinate it inside the ziplock bag. New subscriber here!
Just wondering, when you pour the bag in, do you add any water into the cooker when you leave it for 8 hours?
It’s nice to see a variety of meats. I love my crockpot but sometimes the recipes get so repetitive.
I was exactly looking for these types of recipes. Thanks a ton! And your salt and paper are mindblowing!
I love the salt and pepper yin and yang
Would reusable containers not be better than the use once plastic freezer bags?
I love using the crockpot for so many different reasons. All of those recipes look delicious. My favorite thing to make in the crockpot is my vegan chili:) Hope all is well with you Alyssia!
that sounds delicious!! Thanks, Cheryl-I hope you are safe and well!
That was the best pronunciation of Worcestershire sauce I've ever heard
lol 😅
@@MindOverMunch Wuss-ter-sheer !!! That's the correct way !!!
These are great Darlin, thanks! How long do they last in the freezer?? ☯️
I wonder if you could use an instant pot for some of these
Morgan Hill I was wondering the same thing!
sure, on the slow cook setting probably!
Could probably do it on the pressure setting but you would have to test and make sure things are done. That's the one thing I'm learning about pressure cooking, esp since I got an off brand and it only had a few things listed and not like per pound or ounce so I'm learning.
omg when she pronounced worcestershire sauce . it was so funny. defo going to give a few of these a try . xx
I'm still laughing 🤣
@@jimmylittle9393 me too , it cracks me up, someone needs to tell her how to pronounce it properly.
Just got your recipe e-book. Trying to get back in to shape and so busy with work I HAVE to meal prep if I'm gonna do this. Crockpot frozen prep is perfect! Thanks for doing this! Headed to the grocery store excited for my new journey!
Thank you 🤗!
TOTALLY AWESOME MEAL IDEAS!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! SIMPLE, QUICK & EASY!!!!
Glad you like them! thank you!! :)
Best slow cooker video on RUclips
Water chestnuts are my favorite too! Thank you for the great video and recipes!
The best! thank you :)
Love the recipes, wish you added the measurements that you used tho. I am a novice in the kitchen and am not sure what amounts to use.
Thank you very much for these recipes! Take care !👍🌞😊
thank you!!
Im finally on my own as an adult and want to start cooking and this seems like a good place to start. One thing im confused on is how you add everything from the bag and cook it then when its done it seems like theres a bunch of juice in the crock pot? did you add water or broth before you cooked it?
Vegetables are mostly water. Cooking releases the water.
Ok I love the prepping in ziplock bags!
yes!!
If you put everything in a slow cooker liner & then put the liner inside of a 2.5 gallon ziplock bag. I put my liner in the crockpot, fill, wind and tie off. Then I put everything in the ziplock bag.
I picked up 48 liners & 2.5 gallon ziplock bags from Amazon

You are so welcome!
Quick and to the point. Thanks for making vid
LUV this video. I saved a few of these recipes....I'm deff goina try them.....I luv easy dump/go crock pot recipes!😊
Hope you enjoy! thank you :)
Thanks for this. I was running out of dinner ideas 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome dishes. Don’t go chasing waterfalls.👍
I work a lot I need this thanks #TeamWorkingMom
Just got my first crockpot and I can't wait to try these out!!! 😁 Quick question, how many servings does each recipe yield?
I’m a bit late with this reply but most of the stickers she put on the bags said 4-6 or 6.
Phenomenal job
I’m sold … Really enjoyed this video!
thank you! :)
we all gonna ignore that at 5:12 she made a yin yang symbol with the salt and pep! All for a 1 second shot?!, Thats quality people. protect her.
She does the yin yang sign salt and pep in the majority of her videos
*Спасибочки, как всегда лайк*

These are great. How many days would you leave them in the fridge before unpacking/goes off?
I would say 3 days or so!
How much crushed tomatoes do we use for the lamb
Thank you for those yummy recipies :-) A little question : are the lentilles for the coconut lamb lentil curry : dry, soaked or canned ?
I would think they are dried and do not need pre-soaking. One of the few pulses you can use straight out of the packet
I just want to say I love your videos! Just stumbled across them and they make me excited to try the recipes! Thanks!
Yay! Thank you!
Sooo... What did you do with all these cooked meals? Lol! Really curious! 😄 thank you for your videos. That's a lot of work from prep to presentation, recording, editing. So amazing! 😄
lol!! We eat some, but also give away a lot to friends and distribute the food between our small crew :) Thank you so much!! I appreciate you being here.
So for the broccoli rice can I just pulse broccoli stalk and all in a food processor for a few minutes or is that not going to be enough?
sure!

Wow this is amazing I wish you do one for vegetarian
Great recipes, thank you, are your recipes in your book, provide link to it
Great video thank you
With the cilantro lime chicken can I cook it in pressure cooker setting ?
Nice recipes thanks 👍
I'm glad you're back doing videos.
Water chestnuts in my mom's stir fry were my fave as a kid :)
omg YES! my fav!!
That is genius. Thank you.
thanks!!

Sorry for the noob question, but how exactly can you make broth? It appears in several of the recipes but I don't know how to do it
I do something like this but I never put it all together I like the idea an will try today
What size slow cooker do you recommend for these recipes?
The Coconut Lamb and Lentil curry caught my eye. How much time do you think this would take in the Instant Pot?
I haven't tried these in the instant pot, they can probably be done on the slow cook setting. I don't prefer the instant pot, I think it doesn't add the same flavor cooking it quickly. Lamb especially tastes good cooked for a longer time :)
So fancy yet easy to prep wow. Thanks sis
I wish you showed how much of each you put in, as I never cooked lentils in my crockpot before and don't know how much you used or how much liquid you used.
I'm gonna try these. You know its a good video when you say i would eat that too something you would'nt normally eat.
Up voted for the cool ying/yang salt & pepper filled ramekin!
that ying-yang salt pepper is outta control!!!
Worcestershire sauce 😂
😂😂😂
Lol I scrolled to see if anyone else noticed
whats wrong with that
My family doesn’t like lentils. Would navy beans give a similar flavor with the lamb?
I have ground lamb that I could not figure out what to do with!
Try red beans. It tastes nothing like lentils but I think it would taste good.
