"This freezes very well. We put enough for two servings in individual freezer bags, defrost, cook, add a salad and your have a quick meal. We add italian bread - sliced - brush with melted butter - sprinkle with salad supreme - bake. Yummy This recipe came from my BF - it is rumored to be a "secret" recipe of someone he knew."
