Yes, You can if you'll use it in recipes, Not just open and thaw and eat. It will get dry and crumbly, But it will be fine for like lasagna or things like that later. Prolly not for more than like 3-6months! HTH

Thanks a bunch freeby4me. Lasagna is what I would be doing so it should work for me. Thanks again. Debbie

Also, make sure you thaw it in the refrigerator, not set out. That will help a lot too.
