I'm confused. I only count two meats. beef and sausage. Did I miss one? It sounds good though. What would you freeze it in though besides a freezer bag? I wouldn't like to use a hard plastic container because it would stain and there is still room for a little air. thanks for the tip

The 3 lb. butter bowls are good to freeze stuff in. I use them all the time for leftover cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers or sauce. If the bowl gets a little stained you can use a little bleach in your dishwater and it comes out clean.

Make sure that the sauce is cool before you freeze it or the freezer bag WILL EXPLODE!! I had this happen to me and it isn't fun cleaning up frozen sauce out of the freezer!

This is why I don't use freezer bags anymore I use the 3 lb. butter bowls. Saves money on bags too!
