Notes

Sit meat out 15-30 minutes before you plan to mix together. This will keep your hands from going numb from the cold meat!
If you plan on freezing, we suggest flash freezing on a sheet pan before baking. Store in a freezer bag once frozen. Thaw in the refrigerator the night before you need them, then bake as the recipe states.
Feel free to double or triple the recipe so you can have a few meals' worth in the freezer, ready to go!
