Equipment

  • 1 gallon-sized freezer bag

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian meatballs
  • 1/2 pound baby carrot diced
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 ounces baby spinach chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1` teaspoons onion powder
  • 8 cups chicken broth (use on day of cooking)
  • 1 cup orzo pasta (use on day of cooking)
  • salt and pepper (use on day of cooking)

Instructions

To Freeze

  • Add all of the ingredients, except for the broth and pasta, to the freezer bag.
  • Remove air, seal, label and immediately freeze.

Slow Cooking (Crockpot)

  • Add frozen ingredients and chicken broth into your slow cooker.
  • Cook on low 6-8 hours, high 3-4 hours, or until the carrots are tender.
  • Stir in the pasta, cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pressure Cooking (Instant Pot)

  • Add frozen ingredients and broth to your pressure cooker.
  • Cook on manual/high-pressure for 20 minutes, followed by a natural release.
  • Sprinkle pasta into the pot (do not stir) and quickly replace the lid.
  • Cook on manual/high-pressure for 4 minutes, followed by a quick release.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Tips:
  • When freezing, place the sealed bag in a bowl that is smaller in diameter than your pressure cooker. This will make it easier to fit the frozen ingredients in your pressure cooker.
  • When filling freezer bags, use a freezer bag stand, it will make the job a lot easier.
