How to Make Freezer to Crockpot Meals

Set up your kitchen area by sections. In one section have the meats, in another have the veggies and another the canned items.

Wash all of your veggies and cut all of your meats.

Following the Recipe directions fill gallon size freezer bags with the ingredients for each recipe. Label each bag with what each bag containers and the cooking instructions.

Squeeze the air out of the freezer bags and lay them flat in the freezer.

When making the freezer to crockpot recipes, remove them from the freezer the night before to thaw and cook as each recipe states or remove that day and add extra cook time.
