 Hey everyone welcome back to Six Sister Stuff. Today we're going to make 12 freezer meals that can go in your instant pot or your slow cooker. So my name is Kristin and I'm Camille and we got such a great response from all our freezer meals last month that we decided to show you some more that you can make for your family and to make your lunch a little bit easier. Right so we're making 12 this time so we're making four different recipes three times so if you're ready you can cook along with us or just watch so you can cook later. All right well let's get started. So this first recipe is Southwest Burritos. Now this one's so easy because the meat we've already cooked is just some ground beef. So it only has to cook for four minutes in your instant pot or three to four hours on low in your slow cooker. So this one's super quick. Super easy. Now if you want to cook your ground beef in your instant pot I do have a video for you. I'll put that down below in the description so you'll be able to see how we cook our ground beef to make to make it a little easier to make this recipe easier. All right okay let's go. Yeah okay wait before we start I just have to tell you. So we used these amazing things last time and I gave one to Camille. Yeah and then I kept three of them and I was going to bring them back for today but we are literally moving we're literally moving in two weeks and I think they got packed they are they're gone. So we got one. So we have one and then we're going to use a pitcher and you know what I've done freezer meals for years. I haven't owned one of these except for until last month. Yeah so this is how I've always done it and so you can just use what you've got around your house. It doesn't take anything special. Okay so make sure you're right on your gallon size bag before you start what it is and how long to cook it for and then this one we also added that you need to add rice and cheese because that isn't included in this recipe. Right you don't want to add it right now. No add it when it's done. It's all done. Now I always like to do my beef first. In the same way. Okay so meat at the bottom so that it can cook. Yep first and along. So this is just one pound of ground beef. You can do ground turkey too just in each bag. Wow we're making mess. I know this is going to get messy. It's fine. Okay onion. Onion next. Just one whole onion. Yep one onion all chopped up. Cool. Okay now I'm going to add this third. Okay salsa. Whole jar of salsa. Whole jar salsa. So 16 ounces. Okay. Stump it right in and this isn't sponsored but this really is one of our favorite brands. Right it's our best brand. It's like one of the cheapest ones. Yeah. And it has a lot of flavor. It's super fresh like out of all of them that I've had. The ingredient list is awesome. Exactly. Sorry just adding to that one. All right what's next what you want to add? Can of rotel. Okay. And this can this is just a 10 ounce can of rotel. Just basically tomatoes with green chilies will work right. Yep yep oh sorry thank you. Okay. Then can a black beans we already rinsed and drained them and then we used just the low sodium one you're going to get a lot of salt and flavor in this dish already so. You don't need. You don't need extra. Whatever you have on hand for work. Yep. Thank you. All right next we're just going to add I like to also use the low sodium taco seasoning so we'll just open that up and stick that into. I do I love to buy those big taco seasonings at Costco but for these ones. This one's not the package today. I know I had to use my teeth. It's really easy to make your own taco seasoning too. I've done that before. Do we have a recipe for that? Maybe somewhere very deep. Okay if I find it I'll I'll put a link in the description for you. Okay once you get everything added in seal it up. I want you to do that one. Yeah you're ahead of that one. And then give it a good stir with your hands. Now we talked about this last time if you're short on freezer space you can lay them flat in your freezer like this and stack them up but that does make it really hard to put it in your instant pot. So I kind of like to freeze it in just kind of a nice mound. Nice circular mound because then when it's frozen I can take the bag off and just set it in my instant pot. Just plop it in. Yep don't have to defrost it at all. I just put it in there completely frozen. Awesome. All right so while you do that one I'm going to talk a little bit. Okay the only liquid that's in here is from the salsa and sometimes that's not enough to pressurize it. You'll get the burn notice if you have a duo. So if you have a duo and you're a little nervous like it's not enough liquid go ahead and add a half a cup of water if you're cooking it in an instant pot. So then you don't have to see that because no one likes burnt food right? It freaks this out every time. That burn notice scares me. What did I do wrong? Exactly. Okay so like we said it cooks for four minutes in an instant pot so what we like to do with these this is how I kind of put them together. So even though I'm not gonna cook this right now I just want to kind of show you so I usually I like to get a kind of a bigger tortilla like a soft taco tortilla. I love just this quick and easy rice that you can literally just put in your microwave and you'll have some like brown rice with quinoa. Yeah. So I'll put a little bit of quinoa, put a little bit of the mixture, put some cheese and cheese and then just roll it all up in the tortilla. Exactly. And then you can either like put it on your skillet and just make it like a nice hot juicy burrito or of course you can make it even into a lot. Pocos, nachos, quesadillas, you can put on top of the salad. Like so many different options. It's just really versatile. Okay. All right. Done with this one. Moving on to the next. All right the next recipe is sweet pork. Now this one is so easy. We actually call it easy sweet pork. On the website. Yeah. So what we did is we took like a three to five pound pork roast. Yep. Just put it already in the bag. This is one of my favorite recipes to use pork in. Pork is so inexpensive. It's pretty lean. These are pretty lean cut. You can use kind of whatever pork roast that you have. A shoulder will work great, a butt roast, just a pork loin. Yeah. I was going to say even a loin works just fine. Doing stuff. Let's maybe brown sugar first. Okay. So we got a cup of brown sugar that's going in. These are, like the name says, so sweet. So sweet. So sweet. That's so good. And then a bottle of your favorite taco sauce. Right. And there's different sizes of taco sauce. I mean it really doesn't matter that much just because it's more of like a sauce that it's going to sit in. So I saw some, these are 12 ounces. You can do 15 ounces. Whatever your favorite taco sauce is. Plus they just need for the flavor. Exactly. There's going to be plenty of liquid. So this one. Yes. All right. And then our last ingredient is Coca-Cola. Now I messed up. I'll just admit to you right now. I did not mean to buy diet Coca-Cola. It will still work just fine. But usually if you just use just plain Coca-Cola it has a little bit different flavor. But not an artificial taste. So it's really a preference. Either way, I know it is a preference. Either way it still tastes amazing. So it still works. I'm going to pour away. You hold the bag open. Is that okay? Yep. So you do about two cups of this. The good thing it's, it's forgiving. Like we're just going to estimate here about two cups and it will definitely have enough liquid in it. That's for sure. For sure. All right. You want to zip that up? Yep. I can zip that up. Awesome. I'm going to get the air out. So this recipe comes from a Utah restaurant. Yes. Called Cafe Rio. There's also a Costa Vita. But they kind of made Sweet Pork famous. It's just a really sweet, sweet, sweet meat. Which it sounds so interesting, especially if you haven't tried it. But it's really good. It's so good. Like Sweet Pork Burritos are my kids favorite food. I think every time we go to Cafe Rio, this is what I order because it's my favorite. And Steph loves Sweet Pork, quesadillas. That's what she always gets. Oh nice. I like the Sweet Pork Salads. Oh yeah. Those are divine. I've also, when I haven't had Coke on hand, but I've had like Dr. Pepper. Yeah. I've done it and it works great too. It works so good. Just mostly needs the sugar. Anything to make it sweet, right? Yep. Yep. Hang on. Just do you got a caffeine free? Yeah. Didn't mean to do that either. Sometimes you need the caffeine. All right. So cooking time. So this goes in the Instant Pot for 90 minutes. Now I know that seems like a lot. And sometimes people say you can cook a pork for about 45, but lots of times it's not cooked all the way through. Or it's really rough. Like if you have rough meat, you're not cooking it long enough. So I always say like an hour to 90 minutes. Sometimes I'll even just cook it and let it stay on warm all day. Totally. It will taste amazing. Yep. And then slow cooker. Slow cooker all day long. Like eight to 10 hours. I love this in the slow cooker. On low. Yeah. On low. It needs to be on low. I actually wouldn't even recommend doing it on high. Because you want it to be that soft, tender, shred apart. Juicy. Easy. Not dry. Yeah. Perfect. All right. Done with this one. Done with this one. Moving on to the next. So the next recipe are sweet and tangy meatballs. These are so easy. Three ingredients. Toss it in. You're good to go. So you're going to start with a big bag of meatballs, frozen meatballs. Let's see what this is. So this is like a 26 ounce. Mm-hmm. You can also double it if you want to. Yeah. Oh yeah. 26 is perfect. So this I use as a dinner. And like serve it over rice. Yes. And you can also serve this as an appetizer. Uh-huh. If you have a party, this is a great one. So you're losing meatball. We're looking at this. There we go. There we go. Okay. So frozen meatballs. Toss those in. Next ingredient is a jar of chili sauce. So you'll find this in the grocery store next to the ketchup. Yep. It's basically spice ketchup. Yeah. Chili sauce. Flavorful ketchup, I should say. Nice. But it's really good. Definitely you need it for this recipe. I don't think ketchup tastes the same. All right. Now this doesn't have a lot of vegetables, obviously, in this recipe. No, but I love to serve this over cauliflower rice. Mm-hmm. And then you can even have like a side salad next to it. Like you can put vegetables in your meal. It doesn't necessarily have to be in the instant pot, you know. Exactly. Yep. Quick and easy side dish. We love getting like bags of frozen vegetables and just steaming them in the microwave. Smart. Smart. Serve that alongside everything. Okay. So the next ingredient. We got great jelly here. Great jelly. Yep. So about a cup. About a cup, maybe like 10-ish ounces, 18 ounces. Yeah. So this one is so nice because you can squeeze it in. Because great jelly is really hard to measure when it's in the glass jar. I mean, and this is a very forgiving recipe too. Yeah. Eyeballing. Yeah. You can just eyeball. It's totally fine. You're gonna have to stitch more. Yep. And I'm just gonna add the rest of the bottle in here. Okay. Oh, my. Yep. I can add some of this one too. Okay. I might. So I don't have to squirt at the end. Yeah. Awesome. Okay. And that's it. So this one only has to cook for seven minutes in your instant pot. Yep. Or three to four hours on low in your slow cooker. So in your instant pot, if you're gonna make this in the instant pot, make sure you put about a half a cup to one cup of water in it with it. Yeah. It does need a little bit more liquid. It does need a little bit more liquid. It's too thick of a liquid. It will, you'll get the burden noticed. So half a cup to one cup of water. Yeah. And then you can just push the soft tea button at the end to get rid of any extra liquid you don't want. Kind of thicken up your sauce. Thicken it up. Yep. And then like I said, I serve it over rice, cauliflower rice. If you wanted to add some vegetables to your instant pot or slow cooker, I would chop up some peppers, like green bell peppers. Green peppers. That's a great idea. And toss those in. That would be, they would taste good in this. Perfect. Okay. There you go. Me balls. Let's, let's move on to the next one. All right. So one of my most popular recipes is the roast that you can make in your instant pot. So I thought that we'd make it into a freezer meal because it's so simple and easy. And I love just throwing a roast either in the instant pot or slow cooker. So, right. That's what we grew up with on Sundays. It's like Sunday dinner. Every Sunday. I loved it. And it's the best smell in the world. You come home. Yep. And you know it's right in there. I know. So this is actually called Sunday roast. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. This is actually our mom's like recipe from way back. So we haven't shared this one on here yet. Nope. So we're excited. Okay. Moving on. So you want to tell them how long it cooks for? Yeah. So Sunday roast. So we're using, we have a rump roast in here, but really any roast that you have will work great. So like the chuck roast, sirloin roast, like just any beef roast that you've got. If you've got pork roast, it would work too. So throw that in there. And then you're going to cook it in your slow cooker. Same thing like the other recipes. Low and slow, eight to 10 hours low heat or in the instant pot for about 90 minutes. 90 minutes, yeah. Because we've got a lot of things going in here. And it is thick meat. It is a big meat. All right. What are we putting in first? So we've got a couple potatoes. Okay. Like three to four potatoes. Yeah. Roughly chopped. Like don't go too tiny or they'll turn to mush. Exactly. So just kind of big chunks in there. They're going to get nice and soft. Exactly. Want me to hold something for you? You'll do that one. This bag's not staying open very well. There we go. There we go. Okay. Okay. And we've got a couple carrots chopped up. Three to four carrots. Yeah, it's like three to four carrots. Now you can use the baby carrots too. Yeah, I just like these ones because they're so thick that they cook better in the instant pot. They're not so mushy. Yep, I'm the same way. And that's how our mom did it growing up. Yeah. So, okay. So we've got our carrots in there. Oh, do you want to grab one more carrot for the middle? And then after that we've got an onion. Onions. Yep. This one onion chopped up. You can keep a big if you want to. You don't have to dice it. Just depend what it is you like. My kids don't like them so I kind of like to hide them. So that's what I'm doing. And then we've got a can of diced tomatoes. So this one is the basil, garlic, and oregano tomatoes. But any diced tomatoes will work. Fire roasted tomatoes are very good in this. Oh, that's my favorite. We're getting full here. You're going to say this one's a big one. Yep. We might have to take that one off the holder. We might need to. Okay, and then the last thing. So you need liquid in there. Two cups of beef broth. Yep. I'm going to hold this one open while you dump it in if that's okay. I pour in half of this and then put it on the other. It smells good already. I love the smell of onions and tomatoes and all that stuff. All right. Okay, so there's that. The last ingredient. Oh, the secret ingredient. Don't zip it yet. A beef bouillon cube. Oh, nice. Guys, it's one of those bins. I'm getting tired. I'm just getting ready to move. I thought we were making freezer meals. We can just throw them in and not have to think. It's fine. It will still taste good. It's going to taste good. We'll just clean it up. Anyways, throw beef bouillon cube in. Just for that added beefy flavor. Now you can do either beef or chicken. Yep. Just that added flavor is going to add so much in there. Yes. Okay, so give it a good little mix. Okay, so here's the thing with potatoes. There's a chance they might be a little discolored from the freezer, but don't be afraid of it. It's fine. It's just from the oxygen hitting the inside of the potatoes. Some people, as I've made freezer meals before, freak out like, oh my gosh, my potatoes look weird. They're fine. Just throw it all in there with some gravy on top. You'll be good to go. Exactly. If you are nervous about the potatoes kind of looking discolored, I would keep them out of the freezer meal. Just do your carrots, onions, tomatoes, and beef. And then when you put it all in the instant pot, add even chopped potatoes then. Yeah, it's very true. That's very true. There you go. I do like mine all together ready to go. And just ready to go. Exactly. And then we'll taste it. All right, so these are all the freezer meals we have for you today. If you want to see more of our freezer meals that we made last month, you can find the video right there. Now if you're curious on how to make the freezer meal and how to cook it, you can find that video just down below it. So hopefully that will help you and we will see you guys next week. See you later. Bye.
