Notes

Storage Information
  • Refrigerator: Once cooled, transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. The sauce may thicken considerably when chilled and the dumplings will continue to soften.  For best results, place leftovers in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add a little water to loosen the sauce. Stir occasionally while heating. In the microwave: Scoop an individual portion into a microwave-safe bowl and reheat for 60-90 seconds, or until warmed through.
  • Freezer: The sauce may separate if frozen after baking, but you can prep the dish ahead with frozen dumplings and the uncooked sauce. Just cover tightly, freeze, and bake directly from frozen (adding extra baking time as needed).
  • Make Ahead: Mix the sauce up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the fridge. Assemble and bake when ready to serve.
