How do you freeze chili?

I put all leftovers in a freezer bag so I can lay it flat. Put it in the bag and let it cool to room temp first. Then stick it in the freezer.

I do this too, after allowing it to completely cool.

I put it in a big "Tupperware" that can be frozen.

I love Pyrex! No staining!

Also, sometimes instead of saving a whole family meal, I'll save it in individual serving bags, so I can grab a bag and a bowl on my way out the door and have lunch for work.

I freeze mine in individual tupperware containers (filled to the top to reduce the amount of air in the container). This way, I can just grab one from the freezer to bring to work for lunch.

I put it in zip locks while still hot and lay them on their sides to freeze.

I freeze chili in my muffin tins, then toss the "muffins" into ziplock freezer bags. That way I can defrost just what I need (about two muffins makes a nice serving unless you're DD #2, who will maybe eat one).

The dollar store has decent tupperware that I like to use for making individual servings to pull out of the freezer for lunches.

I always make extra to freeze.

I use small and pint sized glad containers to freeze. The small containers are perfect to add to a salad for lunch. The medium is perfect for a meal for two people, or a hearty meal for one. The individual sizes means that they can defrost in my lunch bag or microwave very easily.

I do this, too, but I put a layer of waxed paper between the bags so they don't freeze together.
