Can you make and freeze for a meal train?
Melissa
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.
Amanda wright
Have you ever done this in a crockpot?
Melissa
I haven't but, would love to know how it goes, if you try it.
Tina
Can you use frozen broccoli
Melissa
This is best with fresh broccoli. If you use frozen, thaw but don't steam prior to adding to the casserole.
Laura Hagan
