Divide mixture between pans. Top with cheese. Spray pieces of foil large enough to cover pans with cooking spray. Cover pans with foil, sprayed side down. Place foil-covered pans in gallon-size resealable freezer plastic bags, or wrap in double layer of plastic wrap. Label and freeze. To bake: Thaw pan(s) overnight in refrigerator. Heat oven to 350°F.

If baking from frozen, bake 60 to 75 minutes.

Personal Notes:
This is a great freezer recipe. You can use 1/2 for your dinner tonight and freeze the rest for future meals. You can find the aluminum pans at stores such as the Dollar Tree, 99 cent Store and even at Walmart (they are a little bit more but well worth the expense)
