Notes

aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
FRIDGE: If stored correctly, leftover casserole will last in the refrigerator for about 3 days.
FREEZER: You can freeze an unbaked lasagna casserole. However, baked casserole may not reheat well after being frozen.
For best results, reheat in the oven. But you can also reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
