Can you freeze already cooked black beans? Just need to know

I made to much. That is the problem with being a good cook and single.

1. yep, they just get a bit mushier

I make up big batches of my special burrio beans (black beans, pintos, tomatos, peppers, spices etc) in the crock pot and then freeze them in small containers. works like a charm

3. Thanks for the info cheezus. Hey put your recipe for the burrio beans

in the cooking and baking group! I'd like to try.

2. Yes. I do it all the time.

Divind them up, put them in a freezer bag or container. Next time you want beans you just have to reheat them!

4. I'm just now discovering this whole new freezing thing. I love it.

Thanks to * we'll probably get hit with another attack and I'll need the food.

5. I do it all the time

Frozen ones are better to use as taco or enchilada fillings or in soups and casseroles.

I cook a huge amount whenever I can get some fresh epazote.

That's a Mexican herb that smells really awful but gives the most marvellous flavor to black beans.

6. yes BUT !!!

when you defrost them and eat them, make sure you refer to them as "has beans" ...
