$5 Dinners: Slow Cooker Batch Cooking: The Super Supper Saver

Join me on $5 Dinners today?

Having that ground meat, already cooked and ready to pull out of the freezer is a super supper saver. It’s a strategy that works with busy toddlers under foot, hungry teens hovering and all those in between. (that’s us!)

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned?

Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.

    Great idea! I’ve done it that way, too.

    I need to get more organized again with our meals. I’m off kilter after our move.

    Which reminds me to get out my crockpot for today! Thanks!

    I’m assuming I just put the meat in? I think I’ll go do it now, I have some Italian sausage to brown up, and I could boil and cool some noodles.

      Yes, Angie! That’s the beauty of it. Just dump it in and let it cook. All the details are in my post over at $5 Dinners. Just click on the highlighted link or here: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2011/02/slow-cooker-batch-cooking-super-supper-saver.html (Sounds deliciously easy – what you are planning!) 🙂

    Do you sell an ebook or something with your slow cooker recipes. I love to buy it, if you do!
