Notes: Freezer Meal Directions:
Freeze this casserole after direction #6, after it's put together but not baked. Be sure to tightly wrap the casserole in plastic wrap and/or foil before freezing. To thaw, set in fridge for 24 hours or thaw on defrost in the microwave. Add extra cook time if still frozen. Top with foil if it starts to brown on top but isn't cooked through to prevent burning.
You can also make and layer like normal lasagna if you prefer.
