Do you also freeze the slaw? Looking to make freezer meals for Christmas gifts for family members who have everything already!

Can you make these recipes from your Easy & Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes’ cookbook and freeze them like your other freezer recipes? If so, would you just throw everything together and freeze?

Does the sauce come out thick or watery?
