Refrigerate lasagna over night?

[Sunscape]

I have made meat lasagna, with the ground meat cooked, the lasagna noodles cooked, and then I freeze it.
When I am going to serve it I then bake the whole lasagna. It tastes very good.

I do this all the time, and think it tastes better after melding a day or so...

Wouldn't suggest if it were in a cheap aluminum pan with a few rust spots here and there though.

Stainless, ceramic or glass is best, especially food with a tomato base.

I honestly think it's better to make it the night before, let it sit in the fridge, and cook it the next day. It lets the flavors "marry" and makes for a more flavorful lasagna.

Just my $.02

If you have extra time the next time you are planning to make Lasagna or any other meal with Ricotta cheese, take your cheese out of the container the day before, put it in cheesecloth over a colander in a large bowl. Cover it with foil and let drain in the fridge until the next day. You will be amazed that you will get almost 3/4 C of liquid from a 3 lb. container. It makes all the difference with the liquid gone in the texture of your Lasagna or Manicotti.

It turned out really good. Not runny at all. And just as good the second baking! Thanks all! Now if I could just find that upside down pizza recipe somebody had on here...

Here you go. I bookmarked it when it was posted.

Thanks Raleigh! I found it by using the search, AND made it last night! It was great! In fact, we had it again tonight! I posted in the "What's for Dinner" thread about it, if you want to go see it.
