And it whipped? I’ve heard that it won’t whip after freezing. Hmmm….

You can freeze whipping cream, too! I just purchased 10 pints on sale/clearance and froze them all. Just thaw them completely in the refrigerator, and they’ll whip right up for whipped cream. Or, one time I left a pint out on the counter while we went to church (3 hours), and when we returned it was ready to be whipped.

You could can it. It’s wonderful – falls apart, it’s so tender. My parents used to can meat & I just did it for my first time. I cut the roast into 1-2″ cubes and raw packed it into hot jars, and sealed with 2-piece lids. You don’t need to add any water to the jars – the meat will make it’s own. (I was skeptical, but it’s true.) Process in a pressure canner for 75 minutes. We usually warm the meat on the stovetop and serve over hot egg noodles. Yum!

I’ve written A LOT about it throughout the Freezer Cooking archives. If you spend an hour or so reading, you should be able to pick up lots of tips. Good luck!

Thanks for all these amazing tips for what can be frozen. I have no actually started doing this yet but plan to as soon as we move. Just wondering if any of you seasoned pros could give me some pointers at making this successful as I won’t have the time to really trial and error any of it.
I have 2 children ages 6 and 2 and once we move my husband and I BOTH will be starting college. It’s a big step for us and it is going to make life for us pretty hectic. I am just trying to figure out how to still be able to get dinner on the table while trying to maintain school for 3 and at least some what of a normal family life. Any suggestions or tips that you can give me are greatly appreciated.

You can freeze raw or cooked bacon and pork necks to put in the crockpot with lima beans.

Ashley, I use disposable foil pans and zip lock bags!

I have frozen homemade egg rolls a number of times, with good results. But tonight, I used a package of won ton wrappers I got cheap with a sale and coupons and, in addition to some veggie won tons, made crab rangoon to put in the freezer as well. I was/am nervous about the cream cheese, but after reading some of these comments about freezing cream cheese, I am optimistic!

Hi! As far as beef roasts, put one in your crockpot, pour over 1 large can of beef broth. (You can get a flavored can if you want.) Then dump in one package of aujus (dry packet found with other mccormick seasoning packets) one dry packed of zesty italian seasoning, and let cook for 8 hours, or all day! The roast will fall apart, and should be fork tender. We put it on hoagie buns and have french dip sandwiches and use the leftover juices for aujus “dipping” sauce. It is SO good, and I take this meal to many people for church and they always want the recipe! Hope you enjoy it!

@Heather Acuna, This is amazing! Seriously, I hope my daughters think like this when they marry.
