To prepare, simply remove the plastic wrap from the frozen tray. Place the tray in a conventional oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and heated through. For a crispier top, you can broil it for the last minute or two, watching carefully to prevent burning. Ensure the bake is thoroughly heated before serving.
