15 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper

Remove as much air as possible and seal. Add label to baggie and freeze.

Freeze & Thaw Instructions

Put baggie in the freezer and freeze up to 6 months in fridge freezer or 12 months in a deep freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or a warm bowl of water for about 20 minutes, before transferring to the slow cooker and cooking on high for 3 to 4 hours.

Special notes

If slow cooking this for lunch, please thaw completely before cooking on high for 3 to 4 hours. If the meal is still partially frozen, I recommend slow cooking for at least 6 to 8 hours.
