If freezing cooked food, divide into freezer-proof containers in the amounts you will use at one time, leaving enough space at the top to allow for expansion as it freezes. Cool as quickly as possible to retain freshness. (Dairy, egg and meat based dishes should cool in refrigerator.) Cover tightly and place in freezer for up to 3 months. If using plastic freezer bags, seal partially and press out excess air before sealing completely. Reheating options: Preheat oven to 375°F. Transfer frozen food from freezer container into a covered casserole dish. Place covered dish in oven until edges are bubbly and center is hot. Or, transfer food to a covered microwave-safe container and heat on high setting, stirring occasionally, until bubbly. (USDA recommends reheating meats to 165°F to destroy any bacteria.)
