Instructions

Cook, Season, and Serve

We delivered this meal fresh because it tastes best that way (cooked of course!). If you need to freeze it to cook later, no worries, that works too.

Microwave: Cook in the tray 4–5 minutes (9–11 if frozen), remove plastic, and stir. Cook to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.*

Oven: Remove plastic and cover tray with foil. Bake at 425°F for 25–30 minutes (45–55 if frozen) and stir. Cook to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.*

We seasoned this lightly. Add salt and pepper to your heart’s content.

*Cooking times are developed using a 1000 watt microwave and conventional oven. Times may vary; adjust as needed for your appliance. Do not thaw when cooking from frozen. Do not expose tray to open flame or direct contact with heating element.
