- To Store. The ideal storage container for cabbage casserole is an airtight or any sealed glass or plastic container. When stored in this manner, the cabbage casserole can remain fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. If you have leftover cabbage check out these storage tips.
- To Freeze. When stored in a freezer-safe, airtight container, it can last for approximately 2-3 months in the freezer. When you're prepared to enjoy it, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat it in the oven (preferably covered in foil) until it's thoroughly warmed.
- Make Ahead. If preparing in advance, it's best to keep the different components of the casserole separate. Precook the cabbage and combine the casserole ingredients following the recipe, excluding the cracker topping. Once assembled, cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2-3 months.

- When you're ready to bake, bring the dish to room temperature. If it is frozen, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Add the cracker topping just before baking, then follow the baking instructions provided in the recipe.
