Unavailable totals are not estimated. Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact. ## First-cook checks and limits - The publisher gives a yield of 2–3 portions. This adaptation uses 3 original portions when scaling to four; the published nutrition basis remains uncertain. - The publisher lists 1285 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported. - The publisher does not specify the size of at least one can or bag. Check the intended package size before shopping. - Ingredient quantities are scaled from 3 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks. - Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested. - The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total. - Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness. ## Leftovers Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F.
