For oven heating, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the tray on a baking sheet. Heat for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. If using a microwave, vent the film and heat on high for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until hot. Allow to stand for a minute before serving.
