Notes
If you are making this as a freezer meal, skip steps 1-4 in the instructions and just place everything into the slow cooker.
Forget to take out the meal from the freezer the night before? No worries, I do it ALL THE TIME! Just place the frozen ingredients into the crockpot and allow it to cook on low for approx. 8 hours, be sure to stir it every now and then.
