I have a question when you say this recipe can be put in a slow cooker on a big Ziploc bag and put in the freezer for later on. Do you cook it first or just mix everything up together and then you put it in Ziploc bag in freezer that be nice to know Because you say you take it out of the freezer overnight in the fridge, and then you put it in the slow cooker at the overcook
It can be put in a ziplock bag before cooking, making it a freezer meal you can cook later.
Should we add salt and pepper at any time? or does the prepared sauce take care of that? Thks.
It’s pretty salty on it’s own, you can add pepper if you’de like!
