Can you make and freeze for a meal train?
You could likely freeze this after it’s fully cooked but not before. The potatoes are raw so I wouldn’t recommend freezing without baking first.
Have you ever done this in a crockpot?
I haven’t but, would love to know how it goes, if you try it.
Can you use frozen broccoli
This is best with fresh broccoli. If you use frozen, thaw but don’t steam prior to adding to the casserole.
Would love to try some of your recipes but some ingredients not available in Uk ie soup
and cheese sauce
That can be a challenge. My guess is, you may have similar items that could be adapted. Thanks so much for visiting!
