  • If you don't want to cook with beer, then increase the broth/stock by 1 cup.  The flavor won't be quite the same, but it will still be delicious. 
  • The dish can be made up to several days before serving. Reheat on the stove until bubbly and heated through.  It can also be frozen for several months. Completely thaw before reheating. 
  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 5 to 6 days.
