How to Store and Freeze Lasagna

Got leftovers? No problem! Let your homemade lasagna cool completely, then pop those delicious layers into an airtight container. Store it in the fridge, and you’ve got up to four days of tasty leftovers. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just reheat in the oven or microwave.

Planning to freeze your lasagna for future feasts? Here’s a fun tip: bake it in a foil pan! Once it’s cooled completely, wrap the whole dish snugly in storage wrap. Then, add an extra layer of protection with at least one tight wrap of aluminum foil. Into the freezer it goes, where it can stay for up to three months. When the craving strikes, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven or microwave. Voilà! A homemade meal that’s ready when you are.

Notes

• The quick melt cheese used in this recipe, contains cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
• Instead of the meat sauce, (which was the only available in the house) it is much nicer to use ground beef. Cook the beef first and add the onion and garlic.
