*SLOW COOKER FOOD SAFETY NOTES:
Generally, “low” will heat to around 200ºF and “high” to approximately 400ºF, but depending upon age and model, slow-cookers can vary rather significantly. For first time cooking of any new slow-cooker recipe, it is best to check on the cooking part-way through and adjust cooking temperature and/or time accordingly. Again, make sure chicken or turkey reaches 165ºF before serving. While many people, perhaps even “most”, regularly cook meals from a frozen state in their slow-cookers, it is important to note that most safety guidelines recommend thawing frozen foods in the refrigerator a day ahead of time before cooking to prevent bacterial growth during the cooking process. If you do choose to cook this meal from a frozen state, you will need to freeze your freezer bags upright, so the mixture will sit down inside your slow-cooker while frozen. If you freeze your storage bag flat, for better storage in the freezer, you will need to partially thaw before placing in your crock pot. As a compromise, I usually freeze my bags flat, then shortly before cooking, I place the bag in a sink-full of warm water and allow to partially thaw before emptying into my slow-cooker.
