**Pork Crock Pot Freezer**

*Ingredients:*
– 2 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into chunks
– 1 onion, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tbsp honey
– 2 tbsp tomato paste
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 bay leaves
– Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

*Instructions:*

1. Prep for the Freezer: Start by labeling a gallon-sized freezer bag with the name of the dish and cooking instructions (if you prefer to follow along). In the bag, combine the pork shoulder, chopped onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag securely, removing as much air as possible before freezing flat for up to 2-3 months.

2. Cook the Meal: The night before cooking, move the frozen bag to the refrigerator to thaw. In the morning, pour the contents of the bag into your slow cooker. Add the bay leaves on top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

3. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and shred the pork using 2 forks. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the Pork Crock Pot Freezer over cooked rice or with a side of mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

4. Store the Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, let the dish cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for longer-term storage. Just remember to reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of broth to keep the pork moist.

Save time and effort with this Pork Crock Pot Freezer recipe that not only simplifies meal prep but also fills your home with irresistible aromas. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply craving a comforting meal, this dish is sure to become a family favorite. Let the slow cooker do the work while you sit back and enjoy a home-cooked dinner without the stress of last-minute cooking.
