1. Place liquids (soups, stews) in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before freezing; casseroles need half an hour at room temperature, plus 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. Wrap casseroles tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap; seal soups and stews in plastic bags or containers designed for freezer use.

3. To maximize space, stack bags horizontally until frozen, then store upright. Or line your baking dish with greased foil before making the casserole. Then, once the meal is frozen, remove the dish.
