We are thrilled to bring you our SIXTH ALDI Meal plan! The first freezer cooking plan was so popular that we decided to bring you another one!
We listened to your feedback and made the following improvements:
Many said that the last one took longer than the 3 hours, so we made sure that this one can be done by one person in 3 hours. Using the gluten-free modifications, it took me 3 and half hours with NO help from Mark (and he’s the one familiar with all the recipes).
Many of you wanted more beef – so we have more beef in this one!
Instructions are SUPER detailed and should help you make quick work of these 20 meals.
Gluten-free adaptable!
Shorter shopping list – you can be in and out of the store in no time! In fact there are 2 shopping lists – a standard one, and a gluten-free one.
You do NOT need to go out and buy a new freezer to do this! In our standard side-by-side freezer, these meals took up less than half of the space (see the pic at the bottom of the post).
We will have a physical book available in the next week.
All of the meals in this plan will be easily assembled and placed into freezer bags (with the exception of the chicken enchiladas). Then when the day is ready for it to be cooked, you will defrost in the morning on the counter, then either put in the slow cooker or sauté on your stove top.
I had one problem with the last freezer cooking one – I could only eat half of the meals because I eat gluten-free. I made this plan easier to adapt to gluten-free, so I have two different shopping lists for you for this plan. ALDI has an amazing liveGFree gluten-free line, so we took that into account when we were designing this new plan. There are only four ingredients that you will need to swap out for the ALDI gluten-free version. The price will be a little more if you adapt it to be gluten-free, but it will be well worth it!
These recipes will feed 4 – 6 people. We have 4 small children and all of these meals feed us just fine.
Here are the meals that are included in this plan:
Slow cooker Beef Stew (will double)
Mushroom and Pepper Chicken (will double)
Slow Cooker Pot Roast (will double)
Cuban Rice Bowls (will double)
Asian Chicken Casserole (will double)
The Perfect Chicken Fajitas (will double)
Chicken Enchiladas (will double)
Cincinnati Chili (will double)
Korean Pork Tacos (will double)
Cheesy Chicken and Rice (will double)
Gluten-Free Meal Plan Shopping Trip
Note: If you are altering this to be gluten-free you will need to follow the printable recipe card because there will be an additional step in a few of the recipes. These will be noted in the printable pack and the recipe cards for those recipes.
To make this super easy on you, I’ve put together another printable pack that includes:
Detailed instructions on how to make all of these in just a few hours all at once! Trust me – this will be VERY helpful!
Detailed recipe cards – the recipes list the ingredients by Aldi and pantry.
Shopping list
Pantry Ingredient List – There are ingredients in the recipes not included in the shopping list because they are probably in your kitchen’s pantry. The printable pack has a list so you can check to make sure you have everything.
You can get it all for only $2.97!
If you don’t want the printable pack, no problem! You can still do this! You just need to scroll down to see the shopping list, and click on the recipes that are linked at the top of this post.
