"Dump Chicken"

I'm going to keep adding to this list as I find my recipes!!!  I love my crock pots almost as much as I love my pressure cooker.  Time-saving in the kitchen and money-saving in the wallet!

I have a small bag holder I use to make filling the bags easier.  You can also just stand the bags up in an oblong juice pitcher (or repurpose your Brita water pitcher!)

It's easiest to make several meals at a time.  Just measure out the ingredients into small dishes so all you have to do is dump the ingredients in, zip, mix, flatten.  Try each meal as a single first to see if you like it.  Then you can make multiples of the ones you like.  They keep well in the freezer for a few months.
