Notes
- Different Ways to Serve It
- My favorite way to serve it is on hamburger buns, but there are other ways you can switch it up:
- How Long Does it Keep?
- This recipe serves eight so we usually have some leftover. I just keep the leftovers in an airtight container and they keep well in the refrigerator for two to three days, but it doesn't usually last that long! I just pop it in the microwave to warm it up - it makes the best lunch the day after.
- Spoon all of that cheesy goodness over white or brown rice. Add some lemon asparagus or other vegetables on the side.
- It's also delicious with noodles! For an extra decadent treat, you can serve it with some garlic butter noodles or just combine it with some cooked plain pasta!
- You could also wrap it up in some large tortillas - this is a great way to enjoy the leftovers.
