Crockpot Freezer Meals

Ok so here are my favorite make-ahead super easy crockpot freezer meals! With all of them you just put all the ingredients in a gallon ziplock bag and then label it with the date and what it is. They can stay frozen for up to 3 months before you make them. Most of the recipes say to take it out and thaw it in the fridge the night before you cook it but I almost never do. I just pop it into the crockpot frozen and it turns out fine! (Unless the ingredients have frozen into a brick that is too big to fit in the crockpot! This has happened to me haha)
