spaghetti bolognaise or cottage pie can I freeze them when they are made or not? I know some things say do not re-freeze. Thanks

Once you've cooked the meal from the frozen mince, you can freeze the cooked meal.
When you defrost it, it's best to not refreeze any uneaten portions and it's always better to defrost food overnight in the fridge and not on the benchtop.

Will be ok, the cooking of the mince before re-freezing takes care of that.

You cant refreeze meat if you haven't cooked it, but you CAN freeze it after it has been cooked - this is because the cooking process will have killed off all the bacteria in it, so it's safe to freeze it again.

You can definitely freeze your dishes once they're cooked. Another idea would be to make a nice meat loaf for Sunday lunch... if you cook it today, let it cool down and then put it in a shallow serving dish, cling film on top, in the fridge.

You can freeze both, however make sure that they have gone cold first. Just a note, I don't think bolognese would taste very good unfrozen. Its best eaten fresh or the next day.Hope this helps! Have a good one!

yes you can.
you can't re-freeze the mince but once you make it into a meal you can then freeze it after it has cooled of course.

As long as the mince has been cooked once, it's fine to refreeze. If it's raw, do not refreeze.

Yes no problem - just reheat thoroughly when you defrost the cooked meals

Yes.
You can freeze cooked meat that has previously been frozen when it was raw.
