Can you freeze mac and cheese?

What freezing does to mac and cheese

The evidence lists casseroles with eggs as keeping 2 to 3 months in the freezer, which is the closest match for a baked mac and cheese. It also notes that macaroni salad does not freeze well, so a creamy, un-baked version is the one to avoid freezing. The freezer times are for quality only, since frozen foods stored continuously at 0°F (-18°C) or below can be kept indefinitely.

How to freeze it

1. Bake it first, as the evidence times casseroles from after baking.
2. Store it continuously at 0°F (-18°C) or below.

Depends on the form

• Macaroni salad does not freeze well, so a creamy un-baked version is the one to skip.
• The freezer time is for quality only—frozen foods stored continuously at 0°F (-18°C) or below can be kept indefinitely.
