Quick answer
Can you meal prep and freeze sausage and peppers?
Yes. Cooked sausage and peppers keeps 3 to 4 days in the fridge in airtight containers and freezes for about 2 to 3 months for best quality. Cool it within two hours, freeze in flat portions, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot (165°F for leftovers).
