Casserole Freezer Tips:
Casseroles can be a great recipe to freeze and serve for dinner at another time. Here are a few tips on how to best freeze your casseroles.
- Label it: Make sure to label what you are freezing and add the date and cooking directions.
- Thaw before baking: Usually I will place what I am going to bake into the fridge the day before. This way it has time to thaw in the fridge overnight before I bake and serve it.
- Skip the heavy-dairy dishes: Serve your casseroles loaded with dairy (such as sour cream and cottage cheese) right away instead of freezing since these items don’t freeze well.
Why make a casserole?
Casseroles are just super easy to make and don’t take a long time to prepare. You can make them ahead of time or make them in advance and freeze them until you are ready to serve them. They are typically a hearty and filling meal, and everyone enjoys them.
