Oven | Cooking Directions
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. *If using a glass casserole dish, see notes.
  • Remove Lazy Lasagna from freezer and place in preheated oven covered with aluminum foil. (ensure the aluminum foil going into the oven has nothing attached to it ex. Freezer label) 
  • Cook for 45-60 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook an additional 20-25 minutes.
  • Optional: Broil on high for 3 minutes. 
  • Step 5: Remove from oven, allow to rest for 10-15 minutes, then serve and enjoy! 

Notes

If using a glass casserole dish, either allow the meal to thaw on the counter for one hour before cooking, or put the meal in the oven when you turn it on to preheat. Putting a cold glass casserole dish into a hot oven will result in broken glass. Also, be sure to cover the casserole dish (foil or glass) with foil before cooking.
