How the MyFreezEasy Freezer Meal Plans Work
Add to plan
Not many recipes in MyFreezEasy involve this much “pre-cooking,” but when they do, they are worth it. This Spinach Lasagna Bake is so scrumptious and works well when prepped in batch with other MyFreezEasy recipes. The little pre-prep and cooking makes it worth it when all you have to do is take it out of the freezer to thaw and then bake it.
