Notes
Freeze Meal: Make lasagna in a freezer safe dish. (I like to use a 9×13 disposable aluminum pans.) Cover with plastic wrap pushing plastic down over top of lasagna, so there is not space between plastic wrap and lasagna, cover with foil, seal tight, write cooking direction with a sharpie on top of foil. Before cooking make sure lasagna is completely thawed. Directions for cooking -> Thaw. Uncover and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
