They really like farmers now and thought that I made this up just for them. And, I did not season my beans, I just boiled in water after soaking over night. I thought they had great flavor.

Vegan chili is totally filling and totally cheap. You'd probably come in UNDER $5 for a meal by skipping the meat.

I don't often freeze pasta. You could always divide the chili portion and add fresh pasta when you eat it, freeze the other chili portion and then add fresh pasta when you eat it the second time. That would solve the "mushy pasta" dilemma. @Carrie,

A lot. How do you freeze the cooked pasta and then reheat it without it getting mushy? I've taken to only cooking the rice/pasta for soups that we'll need that night, freezing the soup without the carbs and then making some more on the night we reheat it. Is there some way I'm missing? If I cook the pasta/rice to taste right that night, it always is waaaaay overcooked after reheating. My kids would love this. A lot.
