Notes

Add more milk for softer creamy texture or simmer longer for thicker consistency. Freeze cooled leftovers carefully in airtight containers for shorter storage periods. Customize flavor using jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, or black beans. Stir gently during reheating to maintain smooth texture. Refrigerate leftovers safely up to four days after serving.
