Notes

If you want you can make this into a slow cooker freezer meal! Just place all the ingredients into a freezer size gallon zipper bag. Then freeze. When you’re ready to cook drop everything from the bag into the slow cooker and cook on LOW for about 8-10 hours, if still frozen and 6-8 hours if thawed.
