Line the 2nd casserole dish w/ heavy-duty foil, leaving enough to fold over the top, then fill, close up and freeze. When frozen, remove foil package - you get your dish back, and when you want to eat the frozen casserole, just put it back in the dish and bake. To clean up, just toss the foil!

I don't like tinfoil touching my food (harmful). Google the adverse affects which has been highlighted on shows like Martha Stewart, etc.

I make two...
When I am making tuna noodle casserole....or Spinach stuffed turkey meatloaf....mac & cheese....I make two....and freeze one so that I always have a delicious meal...even when I have no time to cook. I freeze it in the small casserole dish that I am putting in the oven.
When you're trying to cook healthy for one, there's always a risk that your veggies will spoil before you can eat them -- so try to "combine" recipes! Find two or three recipes you love with the same basic ingredients, and make them together!
MORE INFORMATION:
Try to find recipes that freeze well, and freeze half of each dish you make. I will buy tomatoes and peppers, then make tortilla soup, salsa, and some kind of mexican casserole or enchiladas...freeze some of the soup and casserole, and jar some of the salsa!
