Can’t wait to make this. I’m wondering if the leftovers can be frozen. We are a family of two. Thanks.
I think it would absolutely freeze and reheat well. You could also prep it and freeze half to have a dump and go meal later.
Good flavor. Next time I’ll add some soy sauce (or Trader Joe’s Soyaki sauce) and some crushed red pepper. Love how easy it was to throw together.
Happy to hear! Thank you for your review!
Can this recipe be doubled?
Absolutely, just make sure your crock pot is large enough, at least 7 quart size.
