    Ditto - also, soups, collard greens, pies and pasta bakes

    Just had some collard greens from the freezer today with a pork chop, reheated on stove though, not microwave.
    But it was made about 6 months ago, and still tasted great with good texture

    Can't believe I hadn't until I started college.Even better when home made and put in a freezer bag for the bus.

    You can't beat day old chilli! Even better than the day of cooking.

    I find that beef or lamb stews freeze exceptionally well - had a beef and chorizo stew recently that had been in the freezer for over a year and it was as good as the day it went in.

    Chicken stews, on the other hand don't last very well in the freezer.

    Definitely agree. I made a massive pot of chilli con carne yesterday. I had it for dinner with rice yesterday and for lunch today. Then when I came home from work today I had it with a jacket potato with sour cream. It was delicious and very nutritious. Plus it's very good value as I made the pot for about ?10 and it lasted me 2 days.
