For Freezer Cooking:
Stop after step 3, except instead of putting the stuffed shells into a prepared baking sheet, place them on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Place sheet in freezer. When the shells are frozen, transfer them to a ziplocking bag. Store in your freezer. When ready to eat, thaw the shells and proceed from Step 3, this time placing them in the prepared dish
- Make sure to let the shells cool prior to filling them.
- This is an easy way to use up leftover stuffing and chicken.
- Don't like Swiss cheese? Substitute it for another cheese instead.
