Lady, I read most all of your posts, and your articulation is generally perfect. This post makes me suspect you might be slightly inebriated.

That happened to me once, except it was my last package of ground venison. So I had to eat Top Ramen that night.

Then our plan worked, just as we expected.

And you’re welcome. For the comic relief, I mean.

If it was warm when you put it in bags the heat was retained in the middle of the chili.
The chile roasting folks always tell us to allow our bags of roasted chile to cool before trying to freeze. They will retain heat in the middle and spoil.
I always take the lid off or crack the lid on a warm pot of food when it goes into the frig, cold circulates into the pot that way, lid keeps it insulated from the cold.
