– Consider forming leftover sausage into balls or patties, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and place in a resealable bag or container for future use.
– An opened package of sausage typically lasts about three days in the refrigerator.
– To freeze sausage for longer storage, transfer it to a freezer-safe bag or container, making sure to seal it tightly to prevent freezer burn.
– Avoid excessive thawing and refreezing as it can affect the flavor and texture of the sausage.
– Keep leftover sausage separate from prepared foods to prevent contamination.
