Notes

Freeze for later:
Press a layer of plastic wrap onto the meat sauce of the casserole. (Don’t add cheese to the casserole, simply keep it in the fridge or freezer for later use.)
Double wrap casserole with tin foil.
When ready to bake, thaw in refrigerator overnight, then bake for 40 minutes at 350, then sprinkle cheese and continue to bake 25 minutes more until cheese is melted.
