When ready to use, spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker and add 1/4 cup of chicken broth or water in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top. Cover and cook on LOW heat for 5.5-6.5 hours (or HIGH heat for 3-4 hours).

That sounds wonderful!
Camille Beckstrand says:

how much water do I use in Instant pot in Pineapple glazed ham
Momma Cyd says:

Since the ham is cooked already, all we need to do is to heat it up, just like you would do in the oven. The Instant Pot makes it easier and faster! Add water to Instant Pot insert, place trivet inside. Set the ham, cut side down, on the trivet.
Courtney P says:

If I don’t have Dijon mustard, what can I use as a substitute?

My hubby came home from the store this afternoon – he said that I’d like this for dinner tonight as he hands me a thick cut bone-in Ham Steak.. . On top of that – he said that he wanted me to cook it with pineapples.!! . Mind you – we have ALWAYS grilled our Ham Steaks & now its 3p.m. & kinda late to pull out my Crock-Pot.. . I’m thinking to myself – thank goodness I just came across (your) recipe – cause I have never used pineapple – brown sugar – Dijon mustard before & this IS happening right now.!! . 🙂 .
Instead of using my Crock-Pot – I pulled out my baking sheet-pan with sides & an Oven Cooking Bag..
I followed your recipe ingredients to a “T” & using an Oven Cooking Bag & it was total perfection.!! . 🙂
325° for: 1 1/2 hours & the flavor of the meat was delicious & it literally melted right in our mouths.!!
This recipe IS definitely a keeper in our home.!!
Yummm.!! . Thanks for sharing this with us.!!
Mel.. . 🙂
