20 Meals in 20 minutes

The following meals are based on Homemade Gourmet's 4 meals in 4 minutes meal planning system.....the directions are the same for each meal. These 20 meals in 20 minutes are to be made at once and then lay flat in your freezer. You will always have dinner ready to go, even on the busiest nights! The baking directions are below.

*all meals have the same cooking instructions unless noted otherwise. You can also put these meals from a frozen state into the crockpot-just make sure to add about 1 hot cup of water and plan for it to cook the full6-8hours on low. All crockpot are not made equal so make sure to learn how yours cooks!

* When ready to cook, defrost enough to empty contents into Crock Pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or thaw and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. You can also grill.

Ready to Fill Your Freezer? Get your meat ready and divided into gallon sized freezer bags (I like the douple zipper rows) and take out the needed Homemade Gourmet seasonings and canned goods. Then follow the below driections. This shouldn't take longer then 30 minutes (you will get faster the more times you do this).

*Directions:Label the bag "Southwest Grilled Chicken" and today's date. Place all ingredients in freezer bag, seal and SMOOSH
