Can you freeze chili and it still taste good?
I made some chili but I live alone so I won't finish this within a few weeks
>>7353198
Yes. It will be fine.
Yeah, I always make huge batches and freeze it. Usually it tastes better or exactly the same after is frozen.

I've had chili frozen for 9 months taste exactly the same. it's perfect for freezing

What do you freeze it in?
Yes but remember that it's usually not the freezing process that destroys taste, it's how you defrost. The best way is to batch it up before freezing then put what you want to eat that night in the fridge in the morning so it slowly defrosts.
Tfw can always tell when qt friend has done this because she gets really gassy and is nowhere near as subtle as she thinks she is
Gross feel desu
Why do you chilli fags always make these fuckhuge batches.

I've never heard this before, and it sounds like bullshit. Source.
>>7353198
jar it instead

the freezer

No shit. The container
>>7353380
The container what?

I think if OP is asking this simple of a question, I believe that canning is out of his/her skill set.
OP: Go to store, buy pic related, fill, stick in freezer.

"Chili con carne, commonly known in American English as simply "chili", is a spicy stew containing chili peppers, meat (usually beef), and often tomatoes and beans."

>>7353492
What does "how you defrost" have to do with freezer burn?
>>7353494
Isn't freezer burn when you heat something that is frozen so fast that it burns?
>>7353503
that's what I was taught

You're a retard.
Think first, speak second.
>>7353198
its a suggested poor man staple because it freezes so well.
the cheap meat, the beans, everything, keep their flavour thawed.

You can use any kind of container that makes a fairly air tight seal.
I know a few people who use butter dishes and yogurt containers.
An old guy I worked with puts ziplock bags in the butter dish, fills it with chili and puts them in the freezer. The next day he pulls the bags out and leaves them neatly stacked.
This way he doesn't need to have a shit ton of containers.
He calls them 'hockey pucks'.
He also makes a lot of casseroles and Cajun dishes (jambalaya/red beans&rice) and does the same.
Moving again and will have a full kitchen at my disposal again, so I'll be doing this a couple times a week.
So how about we make this a chili thread then?
Here is one I did recently. The pork sausage is there because my audience is mostly Japanese. Just substitute bacon.
it tastes BETTER when you freeze it cause the beans and shit soak up the flavor
>>7353626
where's the chili
>>7353535
I was pretending to be retarded, I hope you don't actually believe this

Depends on fat content though. Lean beef keeps best, winter sausage the worst. Beef is 8-10 months, pork 3-6 months.
These counts are for taste, texture, smell, appearance and nutrient degradation. You can eat moose that's been frozen for 2 years, but only at risk and at inferior quality.

refrigerate/freeze the ingredients and make small batches of chili.
