Frozen food that has been thawed under refrigeration could be safely refrozen if it hasn't been sitting around too long, but the quality of the food will be diminished. Flavor and texture will be affected.

It might be better to cook the food before refreezing it. If you let your TV dinner defrost, it is best to have it for supper.
