Lasagna – Nicole

Lasagna is a good dish too, and it freezes well. If you make up huge batch of sauce you can alway use it for multiple dishes (speghetti, raviolies, calazone, ect.) If you use the kind of noodles that you don't need to pre-boil it really doesn't take that much time to put together. Throw some of that pre-cooked hamburger meet in a crockpot with some Ragu and a few bay leaves, and garlic and let it cook on low for a few hours (if you let it cook in the crockpot to long than your hamburger will get a funny texture). It gives it a nice rich flavor to let it cook in the crockpot.

Layer: Sauce on the bottom of pan
Noodles, Sause, Cottage cheese (or ricotta), Matzarella Cheese, a little parmasian (optional), and repeat as many times as your pan allows. Cook for 50 minutes with foil over pan. (It's so great to make a double or tripple batch and freeze for later)

***I will have to try this too! I love lasagna but it always intimidates me! Anybody have any good tips on freezing cassaroles? I haven't done that yet. Do you get disposable dishes? Buy glass or metal? Do you thaw them out or cook them frozen? Any tips are welcome. ~ Jenni
