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.

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

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

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

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

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

I would cook before freezing.

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?
