Trust me, once you start making uncrustables at home, you’ll never go back to the packaged ones! Plus, they’re super easy to make, especially if you get a sandwich cutter and sealer. They’re perfect for meal prepping, kid-approved and great for school lunches.

In the fridge: Place your sealed sandwich in an airtight container or a zip-loc bag and store in the refrigerator for 2 days. In the freezer: For longer storage, freezing is the way to go! After making your uncrustables, lay them flat on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for a couple of hours until they’re frozen solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. To thaw: To thaw your uncrustables, simply take one out and let it thaw at room temperature or in the fridge for a few hours. You can also pack them in your kids lunch box straight from the freezer and they’ll thaw by lunch time. How easy is that?!
