  3. Place cooked rice in the bottom of a 13 X 9 X 2 or disposable baking pan. 
  4. Top with chicken mixture. 
  5. (You may want to flash freeze at this point before going on to the next step) Top with 1-2 cans of refried beans so you have a nice even coating. 
  6. Freeze in the disposable pan or pop out and put in freezer bag. 
  7. Place casserole back in the 9 X 13 X 2 pan.
