SUPPLIES USED
- Aluminum Baking Pans with Lids–I like to keep these on hand for freezer meals or for if I take dinner to a friend!
Freezing Instructions:
I often make this one when I want to take someone in need a meal. I buy disposable aluminum baking pans with lids at my local grocery store or on Amazon. Just prepare the casserole in the pan and let cool completely. Cover with the lid and close tightly. From frozen, bake in the oven, covered 1 hour. Remove the lid and cook an additional 20 minutes, or until the center is warm.
Storing Instructions
If you have leftovers you want to save, you can cover them tightly in the pan you cooked your Spaghetti Casserole in. Or, I like to divide it into individual servings and store them in airtight containers for a quick reheat when I need a quick meal.
