Can I freeze baked beans? - CLICK HERE for the Cooking Forum Index
Ginny Sher
I may have missed the thread on this subject, if there was one. Dinner
last night came out great, from soup to nuts. Actually, it was from
artichoke to cheesecake.

It seems I may have prepared a wee too much in the baked beans
department. There's a bunch left over along with a whole slab of
ribs. If I freeze the beans in some zip lock bags, will the texture or
taste suffer? How long do you think they would last?

Thanks,
Ginny

The texture will get a bit mushy but not so you'd notice much, and the
flavor may only improve. They'd keep fine in the freezer for many
months but with only a "wee" amount why bother, place in the fridge and
someone will want them with scrambled eggs for breakfast.

So what about that slab of ribs... lunch today, eh?

I just pour 'em into plastic containers and toss them in the freezer. I
haven't had any problems, but we've already established that I'm not within
the normal range. <G>

Ribs for lunch? Answer: YES! Ribs for dinner: Answer: YES! Ribs
anytime? Answer: YOU BETCHA!

I may have exaggerated when I said a "wee bit". There are enough for
at least 6 people to have a generous helping. ...Think I'll freeze
'em.

Thanks,
Ginny

Well, take Carol's advice and use plastic containers. I've done that
also and it works fine and they keep their form.
