How to Reheat Sausage and Peppers
Short answer
Reheat sausage and peppers in a covered skillet over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes with a splash of water or stock. The oven at 325°F takes 15 to 20 minutes covered with foil. Leftovers keep 4 days in the fridge and 3 months frozen.
Skillet — the best version
Medium-low heat, a tablespoon of water or stock, lid on, 6–8 minutes, stirring once. The steam rehydrates the peppers and the sausage keeps its bite.
Finish with the lid off for a minute to cook off any extra liquid.
Oven, microwave and air fryer
Oven: 325°F, covered with foil, 15–20 minutes. Best for a full tray.
Microwave: 60% power in 45-second bursts, covered, stirring between. Full power turns the casings rubbery.
Air fryer: 350°F for 4–5 minutes. Sharpest crust, driest peppers — good when the sausage is sliced.
Storage and freezing
Refrigerate within two hours in a shallow airtight container; it keeps 4 days and honestly tastes better on day two.
Freeze up to 3 months. Freeze the sausage and peppers together in their juices — the liquid protects them from freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Do not freeze it already on a roll. Reheat the filling and toast a fresh roll.

Quick answer
How do you make sausage, peppers and potatoes in one pan?
Use waxy potatoes cut into three-quarter-inch chunks and give them a 15-minute head start at 425°F before the peppers and sausage join them. Total roast time is about 45 minutes. Toss the potatoes in oil separately so they crisp rather than steam.
