Why not just make it while you are there?

If it is a good cooler ypu will be fine. I once packed a lunch fforva trip. We ended up not eating it for lunch, after sitting in a hot car it was still cool enough to feel safe to eat for dinner.

I have packed groceries along with a frozen lasagna to go to the beach, and it is still frozen when we got there.

When I have left ice water in my cooler after a party, sitting on my patio in 100 degree weather, there is still ice in it the next day. If your cooler is well packed, everything will probably still be frozen by the time you unpack it at 4 pm. Worst case, you can stop at a store and replenish the ice if you feel like to melting too fast.

Ps this was June, so it was alsoll hot in the trunk.

Op- Would it make a difference if it's in a hot car for a few hours?

No, in a cooler with bunch of ice packs, it still should be fine. I had smallish cooler stuffed with frozen meatballs, frozen frankfurters, cheese and butter and we drove for 3.5 hours and it was totally frozen still. The lasagnas should be fine.

We are going to the Outerbanks in a couple of weekends and I'd like to make and freeze a couple of lasagnas to have while we are down there.

I was planning to cook it and freeze it for a few days before we travel. Then I was thinking I'd put it in a cooler with ice packs in the car for the way down.

The thing is...we're leaving around 6am, but can't get into the house until 4pm to get it back in a freezer. Does anyone know if the lasagna will stay frozen that long?
