How to Store & Re-Heat
- To store: You can store the sausage in an airtight container or a ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the sausages in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months.
- To reheat: You can either pan-fry it in a skillet with a little oil or bake it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until heated. Alternatively, microwave the sausage on high for 30-60 seconds or until it is heated.
You can prepare the sausage mixture and stuff it into casings a day or two before cooking. Once the sausage is stuffed, store it in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to cook it. If you plan to freeze the sausage, wrap it tightly in plastic or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When you are ready to cook the sausage, follow the instructions in the recipe card to grill, pan-fry, or bake it until it is fully cooked and browned on the outside.
