To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging. You can heat the stew in a microwave-safe dish until thoroughly hot, stirring halfway through. Alternatively, pour the contents into a saucepan and heat gently over medium heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally, until it is piping hot. Avoid boiling. Serve immediately once heated through for the best texture and flavor.
