Like Nancy I have frozen cooked beans but not these specific ones. They are defrosted ones are fine but the texture changes noticeably.
Good enough to eat at home as leftovers or part of a brown bag lunch? Absolutely.
Good enough to serve to guests I'm trying to impress? Not in my house but maybe in someone else's.
Beans in the fridge start fermenting or something after about 5 days so I generally try to defrost what I'm going to eat in three or four days.
Best of luck.

Not this particular dish, but yes have kept cooked beans - both in their own broth and cooked with other ingredients - in the fridge and freezer.
Fridge 3 to 5 days.
Freezer 3 to 6 months.
Sources - county or university extension services, various food info sites about preservation.
