They are definitely not the worst of the canned food line-up, but cooking your own in a slow cooker is really quite easy. Invest in some stackable meal prep containers, and you can freeze them in individual servings. You can then store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and in freezer (in their liquid) for longer.
