Notes
To store leftovers, cool completely and then place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
May be frozen for longer storage. To freeze, transfer to a freezer-safe container or measure individual portions into freezer bags. Remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for one to two months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
When reheating, add a little milk or water if needed to loosen the consistency. Warm on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, or in the microwave, heating in short intervals and stirring between each one until warmed through.
