oooh....what's a "Hash Brown Casserole"??? Sounds yummy!! Can I be cheeky and ask for a recipe please?:o

of course you can
HERE'S a link to a thread with recipes

I've made it a few times now & everyone who's tried it loves it

I usually use a chopped up mozzarella & 4oz grated Red Leicester, but you can use any combination of cheeses you like


EDIT ... I don't use the melted butter, it's rich enough without it, only use 1/4 teaspooon salt & I've now found that it's much nicer with proper Hash Browns than Lidl's Rostis

This is brilliant. I make pizzas quite a lot and this would really help me out as I wouldn't have to make a special trip out to get some mozzie for them. Cant believe I never thought of freezing some. Thanks!

BTW, Sainsburys are doing Buffalo Mozzarella with 25% at the moment it anyone is interested.

I want to freeze some mozzerella. I usually freeze it in its bag with the liquid but this time I want to grate if first. Can anyone tell me, please, whether it all sticks together and if so should I freeze it on a tray before bagging it so that I can take out handfuls at a time? Advice appreciated.

If I grate it I just shove it in a big freezer bag and pop it in. When it is frozen I bash it on the work surface to break it up. I have been freezing Mozzarella for years, both lumps of it and the stuff in whey and we are all still alive!

Hi callumpster,

Yes you can. Sometimes I take it out of the bag and just wrap it in cling film and sometimes I just bung it in the freezer.

This older thread may help:

Freezing mozzarella?

I'll merge your thread with that one later to keep all the replies together.

P.S. Thanks for your posts on Friday. :T They spurred me to make pizzas on Saturday and even if I say so myself they were the most scrumptious stuffed crust pizzas I've ever made ...my kids said they were nicer than any they've ever had in a restaurant! :j

Hi,

I usually open freeze mine in slices and then bag up, using a few slices on pizza from frozen and bung in the oven - I use a very concentrated HM tomato sauce on top to stop the pizza going too soggy on top.

I bought the one for pizza in a block from Mr T's and use the food processor to blitz it to crumbs and freeze in a large bag - can use handfuls when necessary
