So I made this crockpot chicken taco chili for dinner and served it over a baked potato. It was delicious! (I made it with the homemade taco seasoning, in case that makes a difference.)
But I only cook for two people at a time. So I halved the recipe (and still had a TON of leftover chili). But that means using only half a can of black beans, half a can of kidney beans, and half a can of chiles. Can I freeze those next time? Is there a special way to do it, or just dump them in a tupperware container? And then what? Just thaw and use? Do you think I could mix the beans and chiles in one tupperware container?
Google seems to indicate yes, I can freeze the beans and then thaw to use... I guess I am mostly wondering if anyone's done it and it's been successful? I don't freezer cook because I don't like how textures and tastes sometimes change, but this seems particularly wasteful of me to only use half of four different cans of stuff.
