Fall is here, and along with falling leaves comes busy fall schedules. So we are always looking to make mealtime super easy, convenient, and with the least amount of cleanup. It can be overwhelming to make a good meal everyone loves with no mess and no stress. That's why meal prep is so important. Here's how we took one cooking session and made two proteins in one slow cooker to prepare a week's worth of meals. First up, we share how to make two proteins at once: pulled chicken tacos and tender barbeque pot roast. The slow cooker allows you to be super versatile, and it's so effortless. Because Reynolds Kitchens Slow Cooker Liners will allow you to line the bowl, nothing gets dirty, and cleanup is superfast with no soaking or scrubbing required. They're BPA-free, heat resistant, and safe for high temps. Best part? You can make two dishes at once in it. Here's the hack to do it. Just take the Reynolds Kitchens Slow Cooker Liners and Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty Foil and mold a few sheets of heavy-duty foil to form a wall in the center of your slow cooker. Shape it so it fits snugly, then place a slow cooker liner on each side to cover both halves so the two dishes stay separated. You'll have made two meals in one slow cooker without the mess. Let your dishes cool completely before transferring the liner contents to a fridge or a freezer-safe container. We love the Hefty Slider Freezer Bags for this. They will also prevent the transfer of flavors from one dish to another. When you're done, toss these slow cooker liners and store your slow cooker. Next, add variety with sides to turn two main dishes into five dinners. We love using the Reynolds Kitchens Parchment Paper with Stay Flat Dispensing to cook sides such as baked veggies with minimal cleanup.

00:00Hi, I'm Joanne Butler.
00:06Fall is here and along with falling leaves also comes a busy fall schedule.
00:09So I'm always looking to make mealtime super easy, convenient, and with the least amount
00:15of cleanup.
00:16Who isn't?
00:17But it can also be overwhelming to make a good meal that everyone loves, you know, with
00:19no mess and no stress.
00:21So that's why meal prep is just so important.
00:23I'm going to show you how we took one cooking session and made two proteins in one slow
00:28cooker and prepared a whole week's worth of meals.
00:31It's just a great idea for busy families.
00:33Here we made pulled chicken tacos and tender barbecued pot roast, but you can basically
00:39take any two proteins.
00:41Now not only do I love using the slow cooker because it just allows you to be super versatile,
00:46it's also so effortless and I really love using these Reynolds Kitchen slow cooker liners
00:51with it.
00:53Cleanup is just super fast, no soaking or scrubbing required because you're lining the
00:57bowl with these.
00:58So nothing gets dirty but the liner, plus the liners are BPA free, they're heat resistant,
01:04and they're safe for high temps.
01:06Best part, like I said though, you can make two dishes at once in it with this hack right
01:11here.
01:12Just mold a few sheets of Reynolds wrap heavy duty foil to form a wall in the center of
01:16your slow cooker.
01:18Shape it so it fits really snugly, then place a Reynolds Kitchen slow cooker liner on each
01:22side to cover both halves so the two dishes stay completely separated.
01:27You've made two meals in one slow cooker without the mess promise.
01:32Now let your dishes cool completely before you transfer the contents of the liner to
01:35a fridge or a freezer safe container.
01:38We love the hefty slider freezer bags for this.
01:41Now when you're done, just toss these slow cooker liners, store your slow cooker.
01:45Now next, add variety with sides to turn these two main dishes into five dinners.
01:51You can make these each night quickly beforehand and I love to use the Reynolds Kitchen parchment
01:56paper with stay flat dispensing for this.
01:59This just makes cooking sides super easy, minimal clean up.
02:04Now let's go over the menu for the week.
02:06Monday, you got your pulled chicken tacos.
02:09While you reheat your chicken, just warm tortillas on a parchment lined sheet pan, chop up your
02:14favorite toppings, voila.
02:16Tuesday, pot roast with potatoes and veggies.
02:19While you reheat your pot roast, use a single parchment lined sheet pan to bake baby potatoes
02:24or carrots.
02:26Wednesday, pulled chicken rice bowls.
02:29Roast your choice of vegetables on a parchment lined sheet pan while the rice is cooking.
02:33Super easy.
02:34Thursday, you got your pot roast sandwiches, who doesn't love those?
02:37Just toast your favorite buns on a parchment lined sheet pan, pop it right in the oven.
02:42Friday, leftovers.
02:44So basically we made four meals here for five days with these two genius workhorses, Reynolds
02:50Kitchen slow cooker liners and Reynolds Kitchen's parchment paper with stay flat dispensing.
02:55And with these hacks, the right stuff, fall meal prep will be a breeze.

03:06a whole bunch more.
03:07Plus they'll tell you where you can buy all of these products at a store near you.
