I *love* crockpot meals (and Instant Pot meals). Especially ones that are full-meals. I mean not just the main protein part but the entire (healthy) meal can be cooked at once together in the pot. Another big score if it can be prepped in advance and frozen. 🙂
I love freezer cooking too!! I’ve only been at it for about 6 months now but what a difference in time savings. Crock pot meals are really easily adaptable to freezer cooking.
