I have just made two moussakas - one for the freezer and one for tonight.
Should I cook them both first and then freeze one of them or freeze one of them straight away?

I would cook before freezing.

Yes you are probably right GG at least then I can just heat it up in the microwave.

Yes I would also cook first then freeze when cold, enjoy!

I would cook first too, if the oven is on anyway, use it.

Cook first , cool then freeze . That's how I would do it.

I freeze first otherwise could be over cooked when you reheat.

Cook first, then freeze.
My daughter froze an uncooked Lasagne and when she defrosted and cooked it, the pasta sheets had become slimy and they couldn't eat it.
