  1. The baking directions seem a bit off. 35 minutes at 350 for both unfrozen and frozen casseroles? I think not. More like 70 minutes at 325 for the frozen, using the old rule of thumb of dropping the temp 25 degrees and doubling the time from the unfrozen directions.

  2. When you make it from frozen – the directions say to thaw first. Making it “From Frozen” just means that it is coming from the freezer.
