To prepare this frozen entree, remove the outer packaging. If microwaving, vent the plastic film or leave it slightly ajar. Heat on high power for the time indicated on the package, usually a few minutes. For oven preparation, transfer the contents to an oven-safe dish and bake at the recommended temperature until heated through. Stirring halfway through microwaving can help ensure even heating. Allow to stand for a minute before serving.
