Frozen Black Beans - Allergy Free CookBook

Once the fresh black beans have cooked and cooled, they can then be frozen for later use. They can be frozen in 12 ounce bags, or whichever meal sized container. They last a long time frozen. They generally need an hour, or more, to thaw out before a meal. Black beans are perfect as a single side dish to a larger meal, or part of a mixed vegetable combo, especially with corn for Mexican style meals. However, you choose to portion black beans, they are easy to use in any favorite dish.
