Chicken & Bacon Chowder – Keto / Low Carb Freezer Meal
Prepping meals, especially freezer meals, keeps me on track with eating home-cooked meals and meals that fit our lifestyle. No running to the frozen food at the grocery store to pick up a pizza, or grabbing fast food.
This recipe is a slow cooker recipe, it could be done in the instant pot for 15 min if you forgot to take it out of the freezer, but I prefer it in the slow cooker. Stir is well to combine if doing in an instant pot.
In this video, I prepped this recipe for Chicken & Bacon Chowder, as well as an easy taco bake.
