Enjoy your delicious homemade stuffed peppers for longer by storing them correctly. Properly chilled or frozen stuffed peppers retain their savory flavors and tender textures, making them a convenient and satisfying meal option.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 3–4 months in the freezer.
Temperature
Store refrigerated cooked stuffed peppers at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
To freeze homemade stuffed peppers, allow them to cool completely. Portion them into airtight containers or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. For best quality, reheat gently in the oven or microwave until heated through.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off odor emanating from the peppers.
- Slimy or mushy texture on the pepper skin or filling.
- Visible mold growth, especially on the filling or exposed pepper surfaces.
