Extra Chili

What's the best container or way to freeze chili so that you don't get ice crystals? Made waaaay to much.

Vacuum sealer.

Vacuum seal in bag or container?

Bags. Works great.

I use quart freezer bags and flatten it out and work the air out, works great and easy to thaw out in hot water.

I do the same thing a lot with beans using gallon bags. Works great.

I made up a big pot of chili a while back and took the extra and put in zip lock bags. I like doing it that way as we can figure just enough in a bag for the wife and I for another meal down the road. Easy to defrost and freezes up flat so you can stack them in the freezer and save space.

We do the same.....

Love my Food Saver use it frequently, just used it yesterday with left over smoked pork. This is from an earlier pic.
