I am making a big crock pot of chili and I'm wanting to freeze the leftovers. Is this safe? How long will it keep? And are there certain preparation steps I need to follow? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance!

It will keep for ages & its simple.
Put it into the portion sizes that you will use next time.
I.E. One serve, two serves or family serve.
Heres the trick.
Before freezing leave & let the containers cool to room temperature.
Then put in the freezer.
A. Your containers won't buckle.
B. They won't seap out.
C. You won't get freezer burn.
Enjoy your Chilli.
:-D

Chili freezes well. Be sure it's packed airtight and it should last for up to 6 months. Date the package.

It freezes really well. Get 1-quart freezer bags and freeze the chili in individual portions. Otherwise it will be impossible unless you want to thaw and serve it all at once.

Perfectly fine. Just put it in tupperware or gladware in the portions you want, and after it's cooled a bit. It keeps for 3-4 months for us. And it seems like we always have chili in the freezer.

I just did the same thing yesterday!
I freez it all the time. Just throw it the ziploc freezer bag or tupperware. that's it.
I find it's easier w/tupperware cuz you can throw it in the microwave to defrost for leftovers.
It will keep pretty well for some time, my experience is only the top of bowl (tupperware) gets freezer burn.

Sure, wrap them individually or two or three together (roll with the paper between each one) in butcher or wax paper to guard against frost and to use as needed and put in a ziplock freezer bag, they will last about a year,without getting soggy, also you can dry some of them...put them in a paper bag and every couple days shake them, once dry, put them in a air-tight container, they will last indefinitely and you can use as much or as little as you need.

I do it all the time and have never had a problem.
Just make sure you defrost it for a few hours before eating.
Frozen ( cooked ) food should be OK for a least a month.
