What Size Instant Pot Is Used For These Freezer Meals

The standard size used for all of these recipes a 6 quart Instant Pot. All recipes will work in your 8quart as well. If you own a 3 quart you might be able to convert the recipes down by half the size. The only concern would be is if you reduce the liquid too much, it won’t come to pressure. So I can’t say for certain if you half a recipe it will for sure work in a smaller sized Instant Pot. More Tips and Tricks for Freezer Friendly meals.

Is It Expensive To Make Freezer Dump Meals

If you are smart about how you make meals, then no! I tend to pair meals that go together. When you have two recipes that use chicken stock you can split that large container of stock in between the two recipes, instead of buying stock for one recipe. When you strategize what recipes you are cooking at the same time you will find it can be a money saver!

Now if every recipe you make doesn’t have similar ingredients, then yes it can be expensive if you buy a lot of ingredients. I always try to think smarter and really come up with recipes that are affordable, tasty, and simple.

Buy meat when on sale.
Use Coupons (cut coupons in Sunday paper or use online printable coupons.
Use apps like Checkout51 and Ibotta for cash back on items you purchase.
Wait for items to be on sale (grocery stores rotate sales, so keep an eye out for produce and such).
Consider buying generic vs name brand items, to cut back spending. Normally there is not much difference in flavor.

Do I need to Prepare any foods ahead of time for my Freezer Meals?

Yes, It will make it much easier for freezing and makes the prep time go by much faster.

Depending on which freezer meal you decide to make before beginning to fill all bags.
