  2. Can you just freeze without cooking then thaw and cook from there? Instead if cooking, freezing, thawing, reheating?

    2. That is what I’m going to do because I’ll likely have leftovers from each batch. This way I can cut down on the amount of times I need to reheat. Did you try it? How did it go?

    1. Our ingredient list will specify “drained” if you need to drain beans. However, if you prefer to drain them that’s completely fine!

  5. This is so good and easy. I just dump it all in the pan, mix, and freeze. I add the cilantro, green onion, and olives right into the dish to freeze. To eat it we thaw and cook. The main ingredients are already cooked so it’s really just heating it up well. Kids love it, there are never any leftovers. I’ve started adding extra beans to make it go a little further – still no leftovers.
