Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Use ground turkey cooked to 165°F or crumbled tempeh instead of beef.
- Greek yogurt can replace cottage cheese for a smoother finish.
Refrigerate cooked beef and potatoes separately for up to 4 days. Reheat to 165°F and add cold toppings after warming.
