Frozen Lasagna

Mere7706 · October 2008

How long do you think it will take to thaw a homemade frozen lasagna? And what temp./time to take to cook it?
MIL brought this over to us a few months ago and it needs to be eaten. I have a goal to not do grocery shopping for at least one week.

Oh, and after it's cooked, I can refreeze it, right?

I have no idea about the thawing time, but I wouldn't

re-freeze it. That just sounds like weird noodle texture

waiting to happen

Lower the oven temp 25 degrees and add 30-45 minuites bake time. Check it and add more time if needed, depending of thickness. Once cooked, it can be refrozen fine, because the noodles have changed properties

Enjoy!

I always let mine thaw a bit overnight in the refrigerator. I then add as much time to the cooking time as necessary.

I never re-freeze frozen food unless whatever it is started out frozen raw, like chicken breasts I bought in bulk and froze, then later thawed and cooked.

The safest way to thaw it would be in the fridge over night, and I would cook it at 350 until it's bubbly. I would not refreeze it. You can, but it would hurt the quality all around for next time. Eat what you can and have it for left overs

i agree w/ PP, if its raw when frozen the first time then its ok to re-freeze but if it has cooked beef/chicken or any other meat in it, you don't want to re-freeze it... the noodles will be ok, but re-freezing already cooked meat can be risky.

PP are right about meat. Sorry, I wasn't thinking, I don't put meat in lasagna.
