 So today on Six Sister Stuff we are making five freezer meals in just 30 minutes. So my name is Kristen and I'm Camille and today we're going back to the basics. It does not get any simpler than this. Five dump and go freezer meals that you can assemble in 30 minutes or less if you get really fast. But you just need these simple go-to recipes on those busy nights and here's the thing you can throw them in your freezer or dump them right into your slow cooker and dinner is done. So we're going to jump on in and we'll get started with the first one. So the first recipe we're making is slow cooker ham and pineapple sandwiches. This it was one of my favorites growing up so I'm excited that we we turned it into a freezer mold for you. Now I wouldn't suggest making this in the instant pot but the slow cooker it works perfectly. Okay so to start out we've got two cups of diced pre-cooked ham. So if you have like a leftover ham from Sunday dinner or holiday dinner perfect for this recipe or you can buy diced ham from the deli. That's what we've got. So we're just gonna go ahead and dump it in there. This is actually probably a little bit more than two cups just two to three cups is perfect. Yeah there's a lot in here there is dumping it all in. Do it gotta feed a lot of people. Yep big families that's what we do. Okay so there's our ham. Perfect. All right so the next ingredient is just a can of crushed pineapple with the juice. You want to keep the juice in there it's a 20 ounce can. Yes and you're just going to dump the whole thing right in there. Perfect. Next I'm just going to add just one fourth of an onion or I mean if you love onions you can add a little bit more but we're just adding a fourth to it. Just a little bit and then we've got one green pepper that's all diced. You can dice it as small or as large as you want. Whatever your family prefers is perfect. All right and then for like the flavoring it oh that's so good. It's not ham without brown sugar. Right you need the brown sugar. So we're going three fourths cup of just brown sugar and then just a fourth a cup of Dijon mustard. Now if you don't have Dijon yellow mustard works fine too but I do like the flavor of the Dijon and yep yeah with the brown sugar. It's so good. It's good. Okay and that's literally all you have to do. Yes so when you cook this in your slow cooker you cook it for what? It's three to four hours on high or five to six hours on low. Basically you're just heating it through kind of letting the peppers and onions soften and just really letting those flavors meld together and so good. We serve it on hamburger buns. You could also add cheese I like to do like swiss cheese melt it on top. That sounds good. It's just so good you could kind of throw it in your broiler and toast the buns melt the cheese but um yeah so that's that's the sandwiches just like that. Perfect done with this one let's move on to the next. All right our next recipe is slow cooker sticky chicken and now I'm trying to describe what this tastes like. It really is like a sweet barbecue just a sticky chicken. It does use apricot preserved but it doesn't taste like fruit. No just adds a little bit of sweetness so but you get the savory with the onion soup mix. We'll show you how to make this. Perfect. All right so to start out we just threw four to five chicken breasts in there. To feed a family of six you need about a pound and a half of chicken so whatever size your chicken breasts are you just plop them in the bag and you're good to go. Yep and we didn't want to show you that we touched it. All right then we're going to do one cup of apricot preserved so this is just oh about half or so okay about half of the jar. We eyeball a lot so you can with these which like that's what I love. These breasts are super lenient like it's okay if you're not measuring out perfectly. Okay so the next thing is just a cup of barbecue sauce just whatever your favorite kind is we love sweet baby rice it's a good price it's got good flavor but anything that's your favorite will work for this. We need about a cup of that. Our last ingredient is Lipton onion soup mix so it comes in a packet like this and you're just going to dump it in completely dry so toss it in there and that's it it's that simple yes. Okay so from there we'll zip it up you can mix it together but yep good to go so to cook this you're going to do let's see about six hours on low or three to four hours on high you can do it completely from frozen um but we do recommend that you thaw it in the fridge for about 24 hours before you toss it in your so it makes it taste a little bit better yeah so you can cook this in your Instant Pot but I would suggest cooking it from frozen and then putting in a cup of water but at the end you're going to have to push the saute because you want it to get that sticky texture so really it is it is easier in your slow cooker to get the sticky sauce if you just dump it in in your Instant Pot like this you're going to get the burn notice and then you're going to destroy the recipe so slow cooker that's the way to go with this one and we just serve this we show it up and serve it over rice um really good yep all right done with this one let's move on to the next all right so the next recipe is our pineapple mandarin chicken now again this is so good but it's a little bit more of a sticky texture yes it's thick and so you'll want to make this in the slow cooker so we're first going to put about three to four chicken breasts we're serving anywhere from four to six people so these are large chicken breasts here okay then this is literally a three ingredient recipe which is my favorite so you're going to take your mandarin teriyaki sauce I like to use this is the panda express kind really good flavor really tastes like take your help and you're going to just use the whole entire bottle like you can see it is really thick but the good thing about the slow cooker is it does pull out all of the juices yes so it doesn't it's not quite so that after cooking there we go okay and so the next thing that we are using is about a cup of pineapple fruit preserves now this might be kind of harder to find at your store we had to get um kind of a random brand but just any type of pineapple preserves will work to give you the right flavor that's why we recommend using the pineapple but you're going to add one cup just dump it in there so a little less than the whole jar okay and that is it that is all that's how simple this is so you're going to cook this in your slow cooker yep three to four hours on high but I do recommend five to six hours on low just so that chicken really just falls apart right super shreddy and um if you wanted to you could chop up some onions and green peppers and red peppers any color of pepper and throw it in with this and let it cook with it yeah or you can use a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables cook those up the last 10 minutes of this cooking and then serve it with it perfect sand dish over rice side the side of vegetables it's easy and it's perfect all right okay down to this one let's move on to the next all right our next freezer meal is slow cooker orange chicken we're continuing with the asian theme tonight it's just so easy it is so we're just going to keep going so the first ingredient is barbecue sauce and you already used half a bottle um and one of the other recipes so you should have at least one cup left that you can use so that will be the base it adds a little bit of sweetness and it adds a really good sauce okay then you're just going to add three tablespoons of soy sauce and we are going to kind of just eyeball this yep you can measure too if you're a measure go ahead these recipes are so easy to just kind of eyeball you're still going to get the same flavor so last ingredient that we are adding is orange marmalade we're going to do one cup of this you'll notice that these recipes are similar but because we tweak the the sauce a little bit they have completely different flavors so this is another one that i would serve over rice just shred it up serve it over rice add one cup of this orange marmalade okay you're good to go perfect all right so with this recipe again it's a little bit thicker so it's hard to make in your instant pot but perfect for the slow cooker so i would say what three to four hours on high or six to eight or so i don't know four to six yeah i usually aim with frozen chicken breasts six hours on low okay if you're using chicken thighs you could go up to seven you just don't want your chicken to dry out chicken breasts don't have a lot of fat on them they're a really mean pot of meat you know so they will dry out if you let them cook too long but if you let it cook for six hours your slow cooker should just automatically kick to warm after that time and you can let it stay on warm for as many hours as you need so if you have a long day at work cook it on low for six hours and then let it stay on warm until you get home from work perfect and like we said over rice again with yeah easy vegetable side dish you can do a lot of heavy stuff with it so okay all done with this one we have one more for you all right so our last recipe is called citrus onion pulled pork and i love this because it's literally two ingredients this is an easy one to dump in your Zolga girl it's the right yes on a busy day yes so even though it's only two ingredients i love just having all pre-made so you can just not even think about it when it comes time for dinner so i agree we're gonna start with two pounds of a pork roast yeah and then i'll show you this see if you can look at it so it's it's actually a chicken marinade yeah that you find on the marinade yes yes but it's citrus and onion and it is one of my favorites so it's stub's brand you can use any sort of like citrus onion marinade but if you can find this it's gotta be highly suggested and you can find it at Kroger and some Walmart so just keep your eyes open for it if you ever see it grab it right just always have it on stop hang in anyways okay so if you're gonna cook this in the Instant Pot you might want to add just a little bit of water it's it's liquidy but just just so you have a little bit more thinner liquid yes just to be safe and then if you're just gonna cook it in the slow cooker you can cook it just like this okay tell us your time won't you cook in the slow cooker okay she is the slow cooker queen i i'm the instant pot queen here's the thing i've loved my slow cooker for 10 years no probably more like 15 years it saved me in the kitchen but slowly coming over into the instant pot side yes so in the slow cooker because it is a roast because it's a big fat cut of meat you're going to want to cook it low and slow so i would recommend eight to nine hours on low in your slow cooker perfect if you do it on high it's fine it will cook it but it's not going to be that fall apart shred tender meat that we want yes so low and slow eight to nine hours this is a pretty lean cut of pork we just use a pork loin roast yeah you could use a shoulder you could use a butt roast like any type of pork roast you can also use this for chicken breasts do the same recipe and do shred of chicken that's a great yeah perfect so and then if you're gonna cook it in the Instant Pot because it is thicker you have to cook it for a little bit longer so i would cook it anywhere from 60 to 70 minutes just to make sure that it's cooked all the way through and we'll shred easy yeah yeah and then when it's done when it's all shredded yeah serve it on we love to do it on Hawaiian rolls it's really good flavor yeah with the citrus and onion marinade um but you could do any type of bun and do sliders or sandwiches we also love to melt cheese on top of always oh yeah cheese with provolone is really good so that's what i would recommend serve it with some fruit and some chips maybe some carrots and ranch dinner stuff done all right you guys now if you loved these
