20 Simple Slow Cooker Dump Meals: Aldi Meal Plan #1

This ALDI Meal Plan is designed for YOU. It’s designed to maximize your time enjoying life without slaving away in the kitchen and to please your family with some AMAZING meals!

They’re all Slow Cooker “dump” meals, meaning that you just throw all the ingredients in a freezer bag.

So the preparation couldn’t be easier. Nothing is pre-cooked – no need to get out any pots or pans or turn on the oven.

You only need some measuring cups and spoons, some chopping time, freezer bags, and about 90 minutes. For Real, I meal-prepped 20 meals in only 3 hours.

It seems like a lot, but 30 minutes or more every night for 20 meals adds up to a lot more- so let me help you save time and effort with my big slow cooker meal plan!

Key Takeaways

• This ALDI Meal Plan features 20 Slow Cooker dump meals designed for convenience and to save time in the kitchen.
• The plan includes detailed preparation instructions and a comprehensive shopping list to streamline meal assembly.
• The meals are adaptable for gluten-free diets with easy ingredient swaps.
• All meals can be prepped in about 90 minutes and stored in the freezer for effortless cooking on busy days.
• Additional meal plans are available, including options for freezer meals, gluten-free diets, and holiday feasts.

20 Slow Cooker Dump Meals: Aldi Meal Plan #1

To make assembly as easy as possible, I developed a new system to help you put these together in the shortest amount of time possible without completely messing up your kitchen.

You’ll only have to touch each ingredient once throughout the entire prep, and you also don’t even need to look at the actual recipes during prep.

You just need four easy-to-follow pages of prep to prepare 20 meals!

See what I mean here:

When you are done putting them together, put them in your freezer, then put them in the slow cooker the morning you want to eat them. It really can’t be any easier!

This Plan took so much effort to put together, so I hope you will LOVE it! I’ve heard of many people printing out their meal plan and laminating it, then using it over and over again.

I think that was a GREAT idea! As always, this meal plan is designed around a family of four. If your family is bigger or smaller, you will need to adjust the amounts accordingly.

I just love having all of my dinners prepared ahead of time – and I even made this plan at 10 pm!

If you eat gluten-free, this is very easily adaptable. I’ve also made them all gluten-free since I sometimes eat that way, so it’s super easy to do and make quick swaps.

Here are the recipes you will need – each is made twice:

• Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef
• Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
• Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja
• Slow Cooker Meat Sauce
• Slow Cooker Ribs
• Slow Cooker Paprika Chicken

Final Thoughts

As a busy mom, I know how challenging it can be to juggle work, family, and household responsibilities.

That’s why I put my heart and soul into creating this slow cooker meal plan system.

My goal was to simplify your life by ensuring you can provide delicious, home-cooked meals for your family without the stress and time-consuming effort often associated with meal preparation.

With this system, all it takes is a little bit of upfront work to set yourself up for weeks of easy, worry-free dinners. No more scrambling after a long day or resorting to unhealthy fast food.

Instead, you get to focus on what truly matters – spending quality time with your loved ones.

I hope this plan transforms your evenings in the same way it has transformed mine, bringing convenience, peace of mind, and scrumptious meals to your family table.
