Extra advice…

You can make this in advance and stick it in the fridge to make the next day. I’ve never frozen it before cooking but I’m sure you can.

Double the recipe if you want, just use a bigger pan and adjust your cooking time!

This reheats great in the microwave. I make extra just to have a couple of lunches in the fridge for work.
