  1. So I am confused..if I want to freeze this I do not cook the squash and veggies first? I’m not sure what you mean about dividing the veggies into the number of indicated bags…? I freeze the pork and then the raw veggies all in individual separate bags?

    1. Hey, Margaret! We are happy to help! 1. That is correct you do not cook the squash and veggies first. 2. You’ll see on the left-hand sidebar this recipe is for 4 servings and for 4 servings you need one 1-gallon freezer bag. 3. The verbiage is confusing because it says bags (plural) but everything is going in the one 1-gallon freezer bag (4 servings). I hope this helps. Enjoy!
