I would thaw them first and reheat them in either the oven or microwave. The other thing you can do is make the filling and freeze it raw and then take it out and use it whenever you are ready to make peppers. I do that when I make meatloaf too.Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-33163078018115938362018-08-29T22:45:31.067-06:002018-08-29T22:45:31.067-06:00So, with your stuffed bell recipe--how would you p...So, with your stuffed bell recipe--how would you package them for freezing?

I should say "especially as," because I find that without the commitment of a daily, regularly scheduled job, my days have the potential to unfold far differently than I planned the night before! I would love to see more meal planning posts, as well as a recipe for stuffed peppers. (I think you posted it before, actually.)<br />Your home always looks so cozy in your pictures.Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09871105973774159424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-91298636752600646412018-08-29T09:08:55.671-06:002018-08-29T09:08:55.671-06:00I LOVE your meal prep posts and like to know how w...I LOVE your meal prep posts and like to know how well items keep or if they freeze well. Just before I saw your post, I was wondering what I was going to do with 10 yellow peppers and 2 trays of hot turkey sausage. Of course you solved my problem for me--turkey sausage stuffed bell peppers it is!<br />But do stuffed peppers freeze well? Do I bake first then freeze? Or freeze then bake? I would like your advice!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806666755044240033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-13888500658500709122018-08-29T06:47:31.346-06:002018-08-29T06:47:31.346-06:00Awesome! I usually decide what we're going to ...Awesome! I usually decide what we're going to have for dinner in the morning. I used to make a list of what I wanted to cook that week, then grocery shop, then decide which meal from my list to cook each night. But when we moved, I shop differently (because the sales are SO much better here), and now I just buy the things we normally eat that are on sale and decide what we're having daily. It works for where we are now. :) I am planning on making a list of all the crockpot and Instant Pot meals I make, because those things make dinner so much less of a hassle, especially on evenings when we have stuff going on.<br /><br />I am getting in the habit, however, of preparing- and freezing, if necessary- breakfasts and lunches for my son in advance. A friend is peanut-allergic so I want him to be safe around my kid's food, and my son hates lunch meat (and I don't just want to send him cheese sandwiches), so I'm having to get creative about what I send him. Some days he gets leftovers, some days I cook things like quiche and dole it out all week long. I've also been providing him with a homemade breakfast in the morning- made in advance, because I am NOT a morning person! That kind of planning absolutely saves me, as I just reheat breakfast, and pull out the lunch I packed the night before, and he's ready to go in the morning with no effort. :)Stephaniehttp://stephaniegetsitdone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-77502373627975199372018-08-29T06:44:17.251-06:002018-08-29T06:44:17.251-06:00Yes, I love meal prep blog posts.
