Fill the Freezer: Beans
Although beans are easy to prepare, they are time consuming. It takes hours to soak the beans and then hours to cook them.
I picked up this handy tip (wish I could remember where). Soak tons of beans at once. Cook some and dump the rest into freezer bags for cooking later. Just bag 'em and freeze 'em. So easy. When I'm ready to cook the beans, I don't even thaw them. I just run some hot water over them, pour in the crock pot, and start slow-cooking.
So, there you have it. Soaking and freezing beans Works for Me. For more, visit We Are THAT Family.

I never thought about freezing the soaked beans. I'm planning on fixing some soon, so that will be top on my list to try. Thanks for sharing!
I usually use my pressure cooker when I make beans since I don't have very much space in my freezer, but it would be handy to keep a couple in there just for when I am feeling lazy.
