Any suggestions for changes I can make to Bechamel sauces that will help to prevent them from breaking down (getting watery) in the freezer. I freeze a lot of my meals to be used later in the month, and have found that those with a Bechamel-type sauce (casseroles in particular) tend to get watery. Can the flour be substituted with cornstarch for a more stable sauce without wrecking the consistency/flavor? I have noticed that when cheese is mixed in the consistency holds up to freezing better, but still not perfect.

Thanks for the science!!
