Time For Some Slow Cook'n


Super-easy, super-fast, and super-delicious! Make-ahead, freezer meals that you can pop into your Crock-Pot for a super satisfying meal. It really is nice to have a couple of frozen crock pot meals for those days that are going to be extra busy, but they are also perfect for those special times to help with the menu, such as Super Bowl time!

I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as we have. I created a section in my Cook'n software for freezer meals. While I am making a freezer meal I almost always make two.
