I prepared frozen stuffed shells and immediately froze them. What's the best way to cook them?

Question

I tried cooking them in a foil container at 350 degrees and after more than an hour they were still coldish! What's the best way to heat these things up? Again, they were just prepared and frozen, never cooked before.
Thanks!

I boiled the shells and stuffed them, put everything in foil, added sauce and froze them. I used a think foil tray (there were about 7 shells in the tray). After cooking for an hour at 350, they were still cold. What's the best way to do this without having to cook for hours and hours? THANKS!

Answer 1

I'm betting you used 'dry' shells instead of cooking them first and cooling them before stuffing them. If that is what you did, just throw them out, because they'll never be 'edible.' If you cooked them in a 'normal size' oven for more than 60 minutes, they were either in a 'way too thick' foil container or were 'too thick' (too tightly packed and 'too deep') to warm up properly, or there was not enough 'moisture' in them to help them get 'warm' ... so if you cooked the shells first, you need to open that 'foil container' and possibly add some 'sauce' that has enough moisture for them to heat properly. Also, if you are 'cooking' a LARGE AMOUNT of anything, it takes LONGER to heat up, so you might just have been 'too anxious' and they'd have been FINE if you cooked them longer ... say for two hours. DO NOT RAISE THE TEMPERATURE on any recipie if you are not a trained chef or have MANY YEARS experience in the kitchen, because you'll usually end up with something that is either 'way too raw' or 'burned to a crisp' ...

Answer 2

add your best sauce to them and bake in about 350 degree oven for about 30 - 50 min. depending on your stuffing.... add parm. cheese or other cheese over the top if desired....
