Notes

Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. You can freeze this recipe for up to 3 months once it's fully cooked, however, you may need to add some water to it when you defrost and reheat to help moisten it since it doesn't have a true sauce. Defrost under refrigeration and reheat in the microwave.
