 I am obsessed with slow-cooker liners! These liners from Amazon really save so much time. Less cleaning is key!

If I am meal prepping, I usually load all of the ingredients into the slow-cooker early on Sunday morning. 

By that evening I have returned to this! From here, I can load it up into portioned meal prep containers for the week. If I prep this meal on a weekday, I add everything to the pot before work. Then I come home to the perfect weeknight meal!

These meal prep trays  are a favorite! They really help out with meal planning.
