Thanks for the suggestion but we must be dealing with 2 different sizes of Corningware. Mine is just over 5 1/2"-square and is a quart-size. The Gladware sandwich container is just under 5 1/2'-square so it is an almost perfect fit. I have tons of the square plastic freezer containers stored in the basement. I seldom use them anymore except for a few things such as freezer jam. But my containers are all 3 1/2"-square so they wouldn't work too well.
Don't you just love being able to reuse and reuse and reuse those expensive freezer bags. I finally throw them out when they develop a hole (or the side begins to split) or the zipper just won't close anymore. And I hate the newer ones they came out with that have the little zipper pull on them. They wear out in no time flat. I've even had some fresh out of the box that refused to close or refused to stay closed.

WAC? You do just about what I do as a single person. I want to recommend
another kind of container that works well for me for casseroles and potpie
fillings and other meals you will be reheating in your Corningware
casserole, and that's those little square freezer containers that show up in
the canning section of Walmart, etc., every summer. The half-pint size fits
those small, square Corningware casseroles *perfectly.* I have a bunch of
those that I picked up either new at Walmart or used at Goodwill, and they
stack in my freezer in a very efficient manner and are practically
indestructible (except for a tendency for the little tabs on the lids to
break off, which does *not* render them unusable). If you can't find the
half pint size, you can use the pint size, fill them halfway, freeze them,
then pop your meal out and bag it.
I also use sandwich bags to freeze portions of lots of things and corral
them in gallon freezer bags. This keeps my freezer tidier and also lets me
reuse the freezer bag.
I'm not overly fond of Gladware, either. Too much wasted space in the
freezer because of the odd sizes, and they don't fit my casseroles
