refreezing mince

[alicemama]

Going to cook chilli for tea tonight but dh is ill with flu and not eating much.

Can I freeze any leftover chilli as the mince was out of the freezer and I know you shouldn't refreeze meat? Does the cooking process make a difference?

You can refreeze it provided it's been cooked between thawing and refreezing.

Yes - once it has been cooked it can be refrozen. I do this sort of thing every week (for when I am working) to no ill effect.

ditto Bozza

I also thaw chicken and beef, cook and then freeze cooked meal
otherwise Id spend all my time cooking

wonderful, thank you ladies!

I knew someone on here would know...what would I do without you all :-)
