To prepare, remove the film from the tray and place it in a conventional oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). Bake for a specified time, usually around 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe level and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, you can microwave the entree according to package directions, which typically involves cooking on high power for several minutes until heated through. Allow it to stand for a minute or two before serving.
