tinned beans & spag

hi all just a quick question,

can you freeze leftover tinned beans & spaghetti?

as i never use a full tin and struggle to use whats left within a couple of days

or is it worth me blending the 2 together for a pasta sauce or a pizza topping etc:rolleyes:

many thanks

  • I find both of these will freeze well. Have never thought of blending them together sounds interesting though will try it

  • Baked beans freeze very well, I never use a whole tin so there's always beans in the freezer!

    I'm not sure about tinned spaghetti, but I would give it a go as I'm pretty certain nothing could make it more rank than it already is (I'm not a fan!)

    I only open a tin of beans if I can be sure I'll use them up in the next 3 days. One tin is 3 portions... but this isn't usually a problem because whatever I ate the first time I just have that 3x in a row.... because I find it's this problem with everything.
  • just buy the smaller tins....you can get the smallest size tin baked beans and those snack pack beans as well. snack pack spagh is an option too.

    but thanks

    When I was a little girl (many years ago :o) my friends mum used to mix tinned spaghetti and baked beans together and we would have "slugs and worms" on toast !!:eek:
