After browsing through this thread, I realised that I hadn't made any do ahead crock pot meals in a while. So this morning this is what I did.
My prep time took about 45mins, I stand the bags in a tall bowl so I can mix the marinade/sauce straight into the bag and save on washing up.
I made beef casserole, satay chicken, Portuguese chicken, honey sesame chicken and in the crock pot for tonight is beef, pumpkin and prune tagine.
It made 10 meals each for DH and myself (possibly with leftovers) for $38.00 so that's $3.80 for our evening meal. Got to be happy with that.  ;D

That's amazing Michele, how organised you are.  How big is your crock pot?

I have a 6L oval cooker - It's great for cooking for all the family, cornbeef, roast lamb etc. I'm thinking of buying a smaller one now that it's mostly just DH and I. Are you happy with yours JD?

Yes Michele, great for small loaves of bread on a hot day or casseroles.  Meat only casseroles I can get 4 serves, meals with vegies 3.

Michelle, I do that also, and cook heaps, and freeze for mid week meals.
I have the 6 litre slow cooker too.

I may have to copy you Mich. it would be handy to have a couple of things in the freezer. Do you cook them before you freeze them please?

I freeze raw Cookie - It's handy when I am called into work unexpectedly or the children ring and say they are coming for dinner.
I just whip out a meal or 2 and pop it in the crock pot. All I have to do is cook rice, pasta, potato or cous cous and usually Chookies no fuss rolls or loaf.

I really wish I had done this before I started the course I was doing. It would have saved me some stress.

With chicken though Michele, I didn't think we could cook that from frozen.  Having said that I have now noticed on Turkey Breast Rolls there are instructions for cooking it from frozen so I'd love to know why things have changed.

Lots of lovely ideas on here, and such clever tricks in time and motion.
Will come back to this thread and just put the ingredients in Aga oven instead of slow cooker.
Thanks everyone.
