Green bean casserole isn’t one of the good ones to freeze. The green beans tend to get mushy, the cream often separates and the topping turns soggy. This is just one that is best to eat it until it’s gone.
Rolls
Rolls are great to freeze. I often double my recipes when I make rolls and freeze them in dinner-sized portions for our family.
I recommend wrapping them up in aluminum foil and then storing them in a large ziplock bag. They will last about three months in the freezer, but ours usually disappear faster. 😉
Mashed Potatoes
Some say you can freeze mashed potatoes, but I don’t recommend you do. I have found that consistency isn’t the same when you reheat them.
If you do want to freeze the mashed potatoes try using them mixed in with something or on top of shepherds pie.
Sweet Potato Casserole
Sweet Potato casserole is a good one to freeze. It works best if it is a puree instead of slices. I recommend taking off any marshmallow topping and throwing that part out. You can always put on fresh when you defrost it and reheat.
Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce can be frozen. Just store in a freezer safe tupperware for up to 6 months. As far as freezing thanksgiving leftovers this is an easy one to do.
You can also divide the cranberry sauce into smaller portions like ice cube trays and then freeze them. Once the ice cubes are totally frozen move them to a freezer safe ziploc bag.
Pie
If you need an excuse to have a second slice, this is it. Most pies just don’t freeze well. So, eat up and enjoy the pie instead of freezing. Skip freezing this thanksgiving leftover.
With a few minutes of time, you can be freezing Thanksgiving leftovers for a time that you will appreciate them more.
Like maybe in the craziness right before Christmas. 😉  You don’t have to waste food and your family isn’t eating the same meal over again, everybody wins.
