- Adding in Meats – If you do end up adding in sausage or ground beef, we recommend cooking it before adding it.
- Sauce – The sauce will get thicker as it sets. If you like a thinner sauce, you may need to add more chicken broth. We usually add in a little more for leftovers. It all depends on the consistency that you prefer.
