First off, cooked beans and ham freeze beautifully because beans have a low moisture loss and ham is packed with flavor. Think of it as a homemade TV dinner that’s actually good for you. The ham’s fat and smoky goodness will keep the beans company during their icy nap.
You’ll thank yourself on a Tuesday night when you’re too tired to chop an onion, let alone soak dried beans. Freezing is the ultimate meal prep hack—it’s like having a personal chef who only charges you in advance effort.
