FREEZER-FRIENDLY!!!! Prep ahead of time, freeze and bake for the quickest, cheesiest and hearty lasagna on those busy nights!!!

I won’t lie.

These lasagna freezer packs have saved me these last few weeks.

Because ever since I got back from the hospital, I came home to an empty fridge.

With maybe one carton of expired milk.

But I opened the freezer and found these lasagna roll ups and a bag of frozen peas.

So instead of having a mingey bowl of cereal with questionable milk, I popped this bad boy straight from the freezer to the oven.

With 4 roll ups per loaf pan, you’ll have just enough for 2 servings.

Serve with crusty bread and a salad for a full meal.

Or you can eat all four roll ups with no shame.

Hey, it’s not like I was going to eat those peas.
