Freezer Prep Meal Plan Info – How to Make as a Dump Bag

Dump Bags have taken the meal prep internet by storm, particularly for people who want to have an easy dinner ready when they get home after work but don’t like the taste of reheated frozen dinners.

PLEASE NOTE: These ‘Dump Bags’ are for the Slow Cooker variations in the book – for use in actual slow cookers. They have not been written for the TM6/7 Slow Cook Function.

The Skinnymixers community have been asking for a dump bag collection of Thermomix recipes, but we don’t particularly love the term ‘Dump Bags’. So here is our version! 

If you are time poor and wish dinner was ready for you when you walked in the door, then this might be just what you need!

Some key points…

  • There are 12 Recipes in the guide to choose from and you need to follow using a slow cooker unless noted options.
  • The labels can be printed on A4, 6 to a page sticker paper.Hopefully this helps explain how to use this powerful resource!

The amazing Brooke has spent a great deal of time and effort on this wonderful ‘Freezer to Slow Cooker guide’ Presale Bonus for our NEW Dinners 4 cookbook

Included in the resource are instructions and print-your-own labels to make Freezer Prep Bags for 12 of the recipes in The Healthy Mix Dinners 4 cookbook.

The Recipes featured in this Freezer Meal Prep Guide are:

If you like to prep in advance, it helps:

⭐️ to utilise the time you have in the kitchen

⭐️ bulk-buying ingredients

⭐️ by doubling up your prep means double dinners, in less than double the time

These recipes have been chosen as you can prepare, freeze and then defrost and cook at a later time with a slow cooker or pressure cooker in particular. You will find the slow cooker variation in the Dinners 4 book downloads.

How do I attach the labels?

  • Find the sticker page at the end of the Freezer to Slow Cooker ebook PDF.
  • print the labels onto sticker labels (available from OfficeWorks or similar locations) – you can also have them printed at OfficeWorks (ask for the specific pages to be printed onto A4 1up label sheet, then cut yourself into the 6 labels or can order it online),
  • print onto paper and tape/contact them on or
  • to use more than once you can print and laminate to attach

What do I freeze the meal prep in?

  • strong large zip lock bags
  • vacuum seal bags
  • containers

Note – If you are using bags and the recipe has been cooked (ie sauce prepared and is hot) cool the contents before adding to the bag and before freezing.

Do I brown the meat?

Traditional meal prep bags (aka dump bags) no they dont. But if you prefer to brown your meat I suggest you freeze the meat seperate so on the day you can brown it before combining with rest of the ingredients.

Do I add the dairy?

These aren’t traditional dump bags recipes I have seen online (where they literally add all ingredients to a bag). We cook our sauces before adding to slow cooker to reduce and develop flavour (and in this case for bags – cool mixture first). So if there is dairy added its already cooked, if added later its noted on the slow cooker variation to add towards end of cook so this will be added on the day fresh – not frozen. If the meal does happen to split the cornflour mixture brings it back together.

What other meals can I do this for?

You can make utilise any of our slow cooker recipes or variations for meal prep bags. 

What the community is saying & prepping…

Tr Ho – This right here! Is amazing! Especially for shift workers!! The thought that goes into your books is next level.

Gayle Forster – It’s such a great idea! We have teenagers coming and going at all times, so the slow cooker is our best friend 🙂 Thanks for another amazing book.

Ali Rodwell – “If there was a bingo for dump bags” 🥰
Bel Mifflin – Dump labels are ready and laminated!
I prefer to print and laminate mine, write on the dump bag what they are, grab the card out of my recipe box when needed and all good to go 😊

Taylor Drane – If only it were bingo 😅 but I’ve set myself a challenge to make all 12 “dump & go” freezer meals, all ready for the slow cooker and in the freezer 🙌
Future me is going to be VERY grateful! 💁‍♀️✨ All prepped with my Thermomix TM7 of course! 💚

 

Angela Thomas – 8 dump bags done and into the freezer. This is going to be so helpful for my family for when I’m recovering from an upcoming surgery.
I can breathe a sigh of relief now after having done this today.
I started the night before by getting out all party items and placing on the bench with the recipe cards printed off.
This morning I started with preparing all the veg.
Peeled garlic and onions first and then sliced and diced everything else.
I then made all the sauces/marinades before preparing all of the meat and then finally bagging them all up. Stick your labels on your bags at the beginning.
This was 5 hours but I also made some lasagnes and shepherds pies in this time, stopped for lunch and took my son to work, and stop in at Aldi in that time
