Freezing Cooked Sausage

Tip of the Day:

I cook up hot and sweet Italian sausage (the ground variety) and after cooling, I freeze it fully cooked in airtight containers. When I cook recipes calling for sausage, all I have to do is remove some from the container in the freezer. Also when I make meatballs I freeze a few in an airtight container. I use them in tomato sauce, lasagna, baked ziti, pizza, stuffed mushrooms and much much more. It saves time and money because it’s ready to use and I only take what I need which is usually less than the packages at the meat counter, so there isn’t waste.
