Fridge: Cover the casserole well in your fridge, and it should be good for 4 to 5 days. If you have a lot left in the casserole dish, you can refrigerate the whole thing. If not, put the remainder in an airtight container.
Freezer: Most vegan casseroles freeze really well, too. You can cover a disposable tray with foil and slide it right in there, or use your airtight containers. I’d recommend using them up within 1 to 3 months.
