Recipes to Try:
- Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki – This recipe can be made ahead of time and frozen in gallon sized freezer bags. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and pour ingredients into a slow cooker to reheat. (See page 13 of the recipe booklet linked above.)
- Slow Cooker Borracho Beans – This recipe can be divided into freezer containers with just enough liquid to cover the beans. When ready to use thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in slow cooker. (See page 16 of the recipe booklet linked above.)
