SkinnyMediterranean – Freezer to Slow Cooker

Sharing is caring!

The SkinnyMediterranean Freezer to Slow Cooker e-book can be found in your Downloads as part of the SkinnyMediterranean Presale Bonuses.

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 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…

• You will find the SkinnyMediterranean Freezer to Slow Cooker e-book inc. labels PDF that you can download from the same link as your eBook.
• There are 9 Recipes in the meal plan to choose from and you need to follow the directions in the Freezer to Slow Cooker e-book.
• 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’ Presale Bonus for our NEW SkinnyMediterranean cookbook. 

Included in the resource are instructions and print-your-own labels to make Freezer Prep Bags for 9 of the recipes in The SkinnyMediterranean cookbook.

The Recipes featured in this Freezer to Slow Cooker e-book are:

• Creamy Pesto Chicken
• Pasta e Fagioli (Italian Pasta Soup)
• Doner Kebab Meat
• Italian Wedding Soup (Minestra Maritata)
• Creamy Tomato White Bean Stew
• Moroccan Pumpkin Tagine
• Slow Roasted Pomegranate Molasses Lamb
• Slow Cooked Lamb Ragu
• Slow Cooked Bazella (Lebanese Pea Stew)

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 SkinnyMediterranean book downloads (Refer to the file called “Freezer to Slow Cooker e-book“)

How do I attach the labels?

• Find the sticker page at the end of the Freezer to Slow Cooker e-book PDF.
• print the labels onto sticker labels (available from Officeworks or similar locations),
• 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.
