6 Easy Crock Pot Freezer Recipes

I figured I would make a post about them. I labeled each bag before filling them with whats in the bag, date made, & instructions for preparing. I also find it easier to set your bag in a tubberware container as you fill up your freezer bag, it just helps the bag stand up while filling. I bought all the meat from the Pick 5 section at Shop n Save to help me stay on budget.
