To Freeze and Cook Later:

- Add all ingredients to the freezer bag EXCEPT the bag of Broccoli Florets; freeze separately.
- Carefully remove as much air as possible, seal, and freeze for up to three months.
Slow Cooker:
- Empty the thawed contents of the bag into a slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165F
Pressure Cooker:
- Empty the frozen contents of the bag into a pressure cooker, and add 1/4 cup liquid.

Additional Instructions:
