Tips & Notes

- •If you want a richer flavor, try adding a splash of liquid smoke or a pinch of smoked paprika.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy twist that makes it even heartier.
- •You can also experiment with different herbs, like rosemary or sage, depending on what you're serving it with.
Storage & Freezing

Frequently Asked Questions
