  2. This recipe is confusing me. I’m new to OAMM so bare with me please. On the recipe card (1/2013) for this recipe it states that a serving is 1/6 of the casserole, so by my calculations one recipe will feed a family of 3 two times. Yet the yield states 3 servings. If I plug in 3 in the yellow box it increases the # of servings from 3 to 9 (as it should). My question is, assuming I want to serve this meal 2x this month, do I want 9 servings (9 x 6 = 54, assuming a serving is 1/6 of casserole) Also, assuming 2 meals of 3 servings for the month, how many pans do I need for freezing?

    1. Pardon my humor but this reminds me of a long, complicated high school story problem. The recipe cards are designed for you to enter the number of people you are feeding (in the yellow box) and you will get 2 meals for that many people. The recipe cards also indicate the number of freezer containers that you need.This recipe is different than our normal recipes which often yield just 2 servings when there is a 1 in the box. For mathematical reasons, it made sense for us to do it as 3 servings for every 1 person on this one. It is an exception not a rule.As a rule of thumb it is best for you to use 8×8 pans for your meals for 3 people. I hope that helps.

      1. So if I am feeding four people but want to have this recipe served 4 times this month, should I actually write 6 in the yellow box?

        1. Hi KC if you wan to eat it four times you should DOUBLE the amount in your yellow box. Therefore you should put in 8.

  3. I’m very new to freezer cooking, so this may be a dumb question. Do you have to add cooked chicken to the recipe or can it be in the raw form and cooked all together at once?

    1. Welcome Kristina! No dumb questions here. We’ve always used cooked chicken, but you could use raw if you’d like. Just increase the cooking time by 20 minutes.
