When I worked full time I did this when I came back from my shopping errands. Packaged up crock pot meals and would freeze the whole meal for the ready! The amount of time you spend chopping and preparing after shopping is time WELL SPENT. Made my life so easy and I felt good about having nutritious home made hot meals ready for my family every night! IF you are a full time employee and care about your family and eating homemade meals not processed stuff in boxes/cans/plastic bags from a freezer that you have NO idea what is in that processed stuff then learn to LOVE your crockpot. THEY are great for Moms on the go! One of my all time FAVORITES for the family is always a winner as a banquet meal for school functions as well as office party contributions!! This is NOT one of the prefreeze meals. This is for on the fly morning prepping b/c it takes about 5 mins to throw together! I am not a fan of canned anything but sometimes you really need to just have a few of the essentials for those days you dont have fresh and in a pinch! White Bean Chili ~ I normally hate canned anything but I do love RoTel Salsa and 3-4 cans Cannellini beans UNDRAINED (related to the Kidney~White Kidney beans hard to find dried in some areas) 1 package of chicken thighs 1 can your favorite Rotel salsa 1 can diced green chili peppers (I use fresh when I have them on hand) 6 minced garlic cloves (I dont measure spices so to your liking on the spices) Cumin, paprika, garlic and onion powder, turmeric, and just a touch of chili powder We like spicy so I add red pepper flakes! Throw all of this in the crock pot and put on high for about 4-5 hours if you need 8 -9 hours put on med. heat Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and BAM Dinner is served. Talk about no leftovers! If you like hominy you can add a can of that too. This will make six full meal servings or bit of a taster for banquets and office parties. I never leave with something left in the pot!! kojo-designs/2012/04/getting-organized-a-whole-months-worth-of-meals-via-crockpot-freezer-cooking/
