Notes

  • Make it ahead and reheat it for an easy dinner. It might be a little dry so you might want to add a little water or a little more tomato sauce when you reheat it.
  • Leftover meat will keep well in the refrigerator for two to three days as long as it's kept in an airtight container.
  • Freeze it for up to three months in a freezer-safe container.
  • You can easily double or triple it if you're feeding a crowd.
