How to Store the High Protein Beef and Sweet Potato Skillet
Any leftovers can be kept in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to freeze this, let it cool to room temperature, then store it in a freezer-safe container. I would recommend omitting the cheese if freezing and adding it once you plan to serve.
