How to Store Hardee's Sausage Gravy
In the Fridge:
Properly stored sausage gravy can last in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You need to store it in airtight containers and then transfer it to the fridge. Make sure to check the gravy before you reheat it, as well as the smell and color. Bad gravy will smell really bad and the color may become dark yellow. Don't store it in the fridge for more than 3 days.
In the Freezer:
Sausage gravy can last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
To freeze homemade gravy, you need to let it cool completely until reaches room temperature. Then, you can pour it into a freezer ziplock bag or sandwich bag before laying it flat to freeze. If you have space, you can freeze it in a glass container.
How to Reheat Hardee's Sausage Gravy
If the Gravy is Refrigerated:
- In a Skillet: Heat 2 tablespoon of milk until hot and bubbly. Add the cold gravy and heat, while stirring, until warm.
- In the Oven: Place the gravy in a preheated oven and reheat it for 5 minutes at 300 F. Check the gravy and add a couple more minutes if needed.
- In the Microwave: Pour the gravy into a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 1 minute. Then, repeat microwaving on high at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the gravy is hot.
If the Gravy is Frozen:
- Place the ziplock bag of frozen gravy in a bowl of warm water in the kitchen sink until thawed. Then, refrigerate according to the instructions above.
- Place the frozen gravy and ½ cup of milk in the skillet, and heat it over very low heat until thawed. Stir frequently, while breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it thaws.
