How to Freeze Homemade Refried Beans

I love to have these on hand for just about every mexican dish I make. But my favorite is on nachos! Take pureed beans and place into freezer bags in 1 cup increments. Get all the air out of the bag and press so that it lies flat (like a book) and freeze to use later. To thaw, simply put the frozen bag of beans in cold water.
