School can be a busy time, but don't forget to take care of yourself.
Cooking a freezer-friendly meal is a great and convenient way for you to get your nutrients in. It can also make eating healthier easier.
Homemade red bean beef chili is a great meal idea that is very freezer friendly. This chili is easy to prepare and only takes 45 minutes to make. It is also easy to save for another day, especially when you don’t feel like cooking or are pressed for time. You can store chili in the freezer for up to approximately 4-6 months after cooking (1).
Just reheat your chili and it’s ready to enjoy!

Tips for Freezing Left-Over Chili
Let the chili cook completely before popping it in the freezer, this way you don't partially thaw the surrounding foods in the freezer.
Use heavy-duty resealable bags to freeze chili to prevent unwanted leaks!
Make sure chili is flat before freezing. Freezing chili in flat freezer bags (roughly 1 inch thick) helps chili thaw way faster than if you were to freeze it in one big container.
