Crocktoberfest 2026 - 31 Days of Freezer to Crock Pot Magic Copy

Let this be the year that October means dinner is already taken care of. With our Crocktober calendar, you’ll have a full month of ready-to-cook slow cooker freezer meals planned out for you.

Pretty much the only thing more convenient than a freezer meal is a freezer to slow cooker meal. Your freezer and CrockPot really are a match made in kitchen heaven!

Why participate in Crocktoberfest?

Get out of your cooking rut and discover new favorites.
Set yourself up for a No Cook November by doubling the meals.
Finally be able to answer the “what’s for dinner?” question because someone else has already decided for you!

Crocktoberfest Boot Camp 2026!

The best way to go from talking about making slow cooker freezer meals to actually stacking your freezer is to join our Crocktoberfest Boot Camp.

Consider this your official invitation to come hang out with your freezer meal besties for four days. 😂❤️

Except we’re not just hanging out.

We’re getting stuff DONE.

By the end of Crocktoberfest Boot Camp, you’ll have 10 slow cooker freezer meals ready and waiting for busy days.

Christie and I have planned the whole thing for you, and we’ll be there every day answering questions, cheering you on and helping you get across the finish line.

Because filling your freezer is a whole lot easier when you don’t have to do it alone.

Starts September 30th.

Let’s get that freezer stacked!

October calendar with a recipe name in each day

Get Ready

Check out the recipes and look over your Crocktober calendar.

If you’re in the Freezer Meals 101 Club, you can turn the recipes into a meal plan, auto-generate your shopping list, prep list, and printable labels (with cooking instructions and the date).
Not a member? No worries! Just use the linked recipes right from your calendar or join the Club today.

Step One

Pick up your groceries or put in an online grocery order. Then it’s time to prep your ingredients.

Step Two

Assemble your meals. You can either:

Make a big batch session (double each recipe so you have one for now and one for the freezer).
Or toss one meal straight into the slow cooker and the second into a freezer bag for later so that November’s meals are taken care of too.

Cook

Dump the thawed or somewhat thawed freezer bag contents into your CrockPot, turn the dial, and let it do the work for you.

Enjoy

Try out some new recipes, decide on some new favorites, and enjoy not having to worry about dinner for awhile.

If you’re a member of the Freezer Meals 101 Club, you can create a custom meal plan of the recipes and print off your shopping list, prep list, and printable labels with the cooking instructions. Otherwise, you can reference the links in the calendar.

Why join Crocktoberfest?

It’s free. (If you decide you want to join the Boot Camp Challenge, it’s $10 or free if you’re a Club member)
You’ll feel confident heading into each evening with a dinner plan.
You’ll go beyond your usual meal rotation and discover dishes you love.

And most importantly, you’ll get to experience how much freedom a stacked freezer can really give you.
