Notes

To keep leftovers fresh, store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat to 165°F for safe consumption. For a creamier sauce, consider adding heavy cream or cream cheese. Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra flavor. You can also include vegetables like carrots or peas during the last hour of cooking.
