Freezer Friday 4/24/09
Posted on Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 at 8:32 pmHappy Friday!
If you are new around here, Fridays are all about freezer cooking and having a Freezer Cooking Club or Co-op.
I am so excited for today being the first video post on my blog in cooperation with Sam’s Club! Today I will be showing you how I shopped for and made the crockpot/freezer BBQ sandwiches. I posted this recipe a few weeks ago and decided to show you exactly what went into it. I hope you enjoy it!
A few things to remember:
-I do not actually have a freezer co-op at this time because I just moved to GA. You can be sure I will be starting another one once I get to know enough people. I made these Sam’s Club posts like I would if I was still with my co-op.
-My freezer co-op (when I lived in WV) involved 5-10 families depending on who was available during that rotation.
-We agreed that each meal needed to be 4-6 servings and the main dish.
-I am doing these videos at the request of Sam’s Club. They would like me to show tips on having your own freezer cooking club and tips for what we do. The Sam’s Club I worked with was very helpful and eager to assist me.
-This will be a series for a few weeks on Fridays (I don’t know for how long). So, please subscribe to my feed or check back often!
Here is the recipe:
Beef & Pork BBQ
(16 servings)
1 1/2 lbs. stewing meat-cubed
1 1/2 lbs. pork-cubed
2 cups onions-chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
3 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
6 oz. tomato paste
pepper blend seasoning
onion salt
-In a large crockpot, combine all ingredients. Cook on low setting for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender. Stir with fork to break up pieces. Serve on buns.
**May use all pork or all bef. Pork may cook faster than the beef, so start the beef ahead of time, then add the pork.
IF FREEZING: Allow BBQ to cool completely. Spoon into Ziplock bags. On cooking day, thaw overnight in fridge. Reheat on stove top.
Here are the videos:
That was very informative
Thanks Joy. The videos were very easy to follow.
We really enjoyed getting to taste that first batch of BBQ. I was wondering about the second one, if you left it in longer, if it would shred easier. Thanks for letting me know!

We enjoyed your videos. It was fun to hear a little voice in the backgound. Hi Adeline and Wilder! Pretty soon they will be helping you make these meals. Sarah cracked 9 eggs for me this morning for a pasta dish I was making. She and Tim both help me in the kitchen and then they are more willing to try what they made. That is good since they can be picky eaters.
