Slow Cooker Black Bean and Corn Salsa Chicken {Freezer Meal}

how could i make this into a freezer meal?

I am all about simple freezer meals, and this one makes a perfect freezer meal.

For this recipe, I usually double it, then freeze half of the prepared meal. I usually freeze it in a thick airtight container.

However, you could also throw all the ingredients together (raw chicken and all) and cook it when you are ready for it.

I am just all about shortcuts and I will make this for dinner one night, then freeze the other meal I made with it. That way, I only have to heat it up when we are ready to eat, and don’t have to wait for it to cook.

what other toppings would be good on this?

I am all about the toppings. I like the base, but the toppings make it what it is. This recipe is great for topping off.

Here are a few toppings we recommend putting on this recipe:

• banana peppers
• olives
• avocados
• bell peppers
• tomatoes
• sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
• feta, cheddar, Mexican blend, pepper jack or mozzarella cheese

Instructions

• If making a freezer meals, label a gallon-sized resealable freezer bag with the title of the recipe and how to long to cook in the slow cooker.

• Shred meat and serve however you want (in tacos, burritos, nachos, salads, etc). Garnish with cheese, sour cream, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce.
• Put beans, corn, taco seasoning, and water in crock pot and mix together until seasoning is dissolved. Place chicken breasts on top and spread salsa on chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours. Shred meat and serve however you want (see explanation above). Garnish with cheese, sour cream, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce.

Notes

You can also skip the freezing step of this recipe and dump all ingredients directly into your slow cooker, then cook on high for 4-5 hours (or low for 6-7 hours).
You can cook this recipe ahead of time, wait for it to cool, and then put it in the freezer for a quick and healthy dinner when you don't have time to cook. Either option of freezing works great.

Optional garnish toppings:

• shredded cheese
• sour cream
• avocado (diced)
• lettuce (shredded)
• tomatoes (diced)
• hot sauce
