Re-Freezing Meat

[linny172]

Can you re-freeze meat(burger and chicken) after it has been cooked. We are having a open house serving taco's and fajitas we are cooking up the meat with the seasonings and freezing it if there is any left over can that be re-froze with no problems. I know you are not supposed to re-freeze raw meat but didn't know about cooked meat.
Thanks

I used to do it often with hamburger before I realized it was easier to cook it BEFORE freezing, but that's another story.

And we often freeze turkey and even ham after it's cooked and those are nearly always frozen when we get them.

I've done it with shepherds pie (made from left-over roast), with fish pie (as the fish is froze, I defrost it to make the pie, cook it then freeze it) and with turkey, beef etc - If we don't finish a roast rotfl2: )I freeze slices in gravy to make a single portion for another time

Just be careful about re-heating until completely hot. You can also use cold cooked meat for sandwiches that will be eaten cold - my mum often used to buy a frozen turkey if it was on special offer and make loads of sandwiches for the freezer, which then used to wind up in my lunchbox for school.
