Beans are something I've never frozen, so I don't know if
that's a good idea or not.  Maybe someone else here has
and can tell you if frozen cooked beans fare well with
that way of preserving them for another meal.

 
Are there frozen TV dinners with beans?
 

Don't recall ever seeing one.  Never tried freezing them but, I found this:
Yes, you can freeze beans, including cooked beans, canned beans, and
baked beans:
Dried beans: Rinse and drain the beans, then place them in a freezer bag
or container and cover with water. Label the bag or container and freeze
for up to six months.

   Why on earth would anyone freeze dried beans in water?

  If you just store dried beans DRY in a closed container
they'll last far longer than six months.
