This light fluffy egg casserole, sprinkled with tasty bacon, retains its fresh flavor after freezing. While it's great for breakfast, it's an easy-to-reheat meal for lunch or dinner, too. The recipe makes two casseroles, so you can serve one right away and freeze the second one for later. —Kim Weaver Olathe, Kansas

Since you have to completely thaw then bring to room temp before cooking....why couldn't you store this meal in Gallon Size zip-lock baggies? I know I dont have room in my freezer to put a 8x8 pan and keep it level! LOL... Has anyone ever tried baggies? ...That would also make it easier to give out to a sick friend that needed to store a lot of quick freezer meals for her family!!

I freeeze this cooked in individual serving sizes, and reheat. It's great, and very easy on a morning when everyone has the morning shift at work.

Has anyone frozen the casserole cooked? My son is in college and would reheat from freezer but wouldn't take the time to cook for 45 minutes
