Step 1

Allow the stuffing to cool completely before storing it.

Step 2

Transfer the stuffing to Ziploc bags or freezer-safe containers. If using bags, ensure as much air as possible is pressed out of them before sealing them. If using containers, fill them only 3/4s full.

Step 3

Use the marker and label stickers to affix the date to the bag or container.

Step 4

Freeze it for up to 3 months.

Step 5

Prepare the stuffing according to the recipe. Stop before baking.

Step 6

Transfer the stuffing to whatever dish(es) it will be cooked in later.

Step 7

Wrap the dish tightly in a layer of plastic wrap. Seal the edges securely to prevent air from seeping in.

Step 8

Add a layer of aluminum foil wrapping to the plastic-wrapped dish.

Step 9

Put the wrapped dish flat in the freezer.

Step 10

Cook from frozen when it’s time to thaw it.
