I've done the full casserole dish but then we end up eating lasagna for 3 days straight! I'll definitely give the loaf pan trick a shot and try freezing muffins as well. Great suggestions! Hi Melaniesd,

I bake lasagnas and freeze them but haven’t done the foil or loaf pan trick. I’ve done the full casserole dish but then we end up eating lasagna for 3 days straight! I’ll definitely give the loaf pan trick a shot and try freezing muffins as well.

Great suggestions!

Not only does it save me money, it saves me time. For example muffins. I'll bake 48 muffins at a time and freeze them by the 1/2 dozen. My family loves having them on hand and they don't go to waste. I might spend an extra few minutes preparing ingredients, but I only have to clean up once! I make items as healthy as I can and it makes me feel good to have these items for my family. If you like lasagna, but have a small family like I do (3) why not prepare it in loaf pans and freeze a few? It's great to have on hand. Another great tip I read was to prepare your lasagna or casseroles in a pan lined with tin foil. Once frozen you can pop them out of the dish, wrap & put back in the freezer. Then you are not tying up your dishes and they can pop right back in for baking. I cook & bake in bulk often. Not only does it save me money, it saves me time. For example muffins.
