To prepare, simply heat the contents of the can in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly heated. Alternatively, you can pour the contents into an oven-safe dish and heat it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of beef broth or a dollop of sour cream before serving. It is best served hot.
