This scrumptious Slow Cooker Cuban Sandwiches Freezer Meal recipe is so good and will become a new family favorite for sure! It tastes like it came straight from a food truck off the streets of New York! I prepared this meal in an afternoon when preparing 15 crockpot freezer meals for my family’s dinners. With getting adjusted to our back to school routine and after school activities in full swing, I wanted to make a large amount of prep ahead freezer meals that I could make for my family’s dinner.
So I got busy creating recipes so I could prepare in an afternoon and have meals ready to go for my family for two weeks. This beef chuck roast crockpot recipe has been my hubby’s favorite out of all the slow cooker meals and will definitely be added to our regular menu plan.
I served the delicious Slow Cooker Cuban Sandwiches Freezer Meal on toasted buns with mayo and avocado slices along with a side of chips. I used my 6 QT Green Bay Packers crockpot because I am a cheese head, loud and proud. Click here to get one —>Green Bay Packers Crockpot.

July 16, 2018 at 10:27 pmIs it possible to use beef stock or broth instead of the bouillon cubes,…if so, how much would I need to add at time of cooking? Also, I never keep oj concentrate on hand and would prefer to use just regular oj (not from concentrate) instead of only a small amount of a can I would have to otherwise purchase, how much of traditional oj would be needed?

July 17, 2018 at 3:40 pmOne bouillon cube or 1 teaspoon of granules dissolved in 1 cup of boiling water may be substituted for 1 cup of broth in any recipe. This would actually be adding more liquid to this recipe.
Orange extract would be a better substitute and 1 TBSP of sugar.

January 1, 2019 at 9:25 amI’m interested if anyone has tried this in their Instant Pot? More often than not, I forget to put the ingredients in the Crockpot before I leave for work and get home and realize I need to make it quickly (and the Instant Pot saves me!).
