Substitutions:
Add a little water or broth and reheat in the microwave. This keeps it moist and only takes a minute or two.
Skillet: Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the ingredients and a bit of water if needed and stir occasionally.
Got time? Just set the Crock Pot to low and heat it up. The food will slowly get warm and taste almost like it did when it was freshly cooked. The crockpot is also great if you're serving for a party. It keeps it hot during the whole party.
