Homemade Hot Pockets are great when you’re on the run! These are so good and easy to make. The great thing is you decide what you put in them, we made ham and cheese, pizza, meatball, and egg and bacon. The combinations are endless.
Homemade Freezer Chicken Stir Fry Recipe
The trick for these hot pockets is getting your dough just right. If you love bread you can leave them a little thicker, if extra bread isn’t your thing you will want to roll them thin. Adding an egg white wash before baking helps them get crispy on the outside.
For all freezer meals make sure to label your freezer bag with the name of the recipe, cooking instructions, and prep date. Freezer meals can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Here are some other awesome things about freezer-to-crockpot meals:
- Most of these meals require no cooking ahead of time, so that means the recipes are very easy to prep.
- The meals cook for the first time out of the freezer so they don’t taste like leftovers (BUT leftovers are okay right?!)
- For us that coupon, we can take advantage of all the sales and freeze a couple at a time. (Most freezer meals will last for at least 3 months.)
