If you wish to freeze, allow to cool COMPLETELY after cooking and wrap well with plastic wrap and then foil wrap. I like to make several in disposable tin pans and freeze to have on hand for any occasion. Simply defrost completely and heat till bubbling in a 350*F oven.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
