- Prep ahead of time. Mix the sausage with the spices and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage freeze for up to 6 months.
- Store. Cooked breakfast sausage can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days, or in the freezer for about 3 months.
