Vegetarian batch cooking with frozen quorn

Hi all
I've searched this but couldn't find a thread.
I want to do some batch cooking for my return to work, but I only use frozen quorn when I make chilli or bolognaise. This is to keep costs down. It would either be chopped up quorn sausages or quorn mince.
Would I be okay to freeze a sauce made with these to reheat and eat later? Essentially, the quorn would have been frozen twice.
Thanks:)

Hiya,
Yep.. I have made and frozen lasange and bolognaise and it was fine. Have never cooked with sausages and reheated though.. Maybe someone else will have a better idea.
I also make up batches of vegetable pasta sauce using what ever veg I can find and these freeze and reheat well.
How all goes well worth your return to work.☺0 -

Thanks for this0 -
We've made many a chilli (mince) or quorn fajita mix (chicken) or pasta (sausage) and repeated from frozen with no problems, just have to make sure it's not too sloppy a chilli in the first place or the reheat can be runny. Best reheated in a pan we find, but ok in the microwave too.0

(Tesco have the 500g chicken for £2 ATM if that's any use)0

Thank you! Will work on the cook double, freeze half method for the first week back.
I've not got a very big freezer, so will have to be selective!0 -

Yes, but its frozen raw, isn't it? That being the case, you freeze once raw, then freeze once cooked. That is not the same as freezing twice.
I have frozen and re heated sausages as well as in sausage casserole, its fine.
