Tips & Tricks

Storage & Make-Ahead

  • ❄️

    Can be frozen raw or cooked for up to 3 months in an airtight container

  • 🔥

    Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes until warmed through

Common Issues & Solutions

Too Dry?

Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream to the mixture

Not Holding Together?

Ensure ingredients are room temperature and mix thoroughly

Too Dense?

You may have added too much Bisquick - follow measurements carefully
