Storing and Reheating Tips
To store: Let the dish cool, then transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
To freeze: Place cooled portions in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes. If reheating from frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge first. You can also microwave individual portions—just be sure to stir halfway through to keep the texture smooth.
