Is it possible to make this recipe vegetarian?

Definitely. Skip the meat altogether and add a few chopped bell peppers, extra onions, or even a handful of mushrooms for depth. The beans and sauce still carry the dish perfectly, so you won’t miss out on flavor.

How should I store leftovers?

I usually store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It keeps well for up to four days. When reheating, I prefer using the oven so the sauce keeps its thick texture, but the microwave works just fine for smaller portions.
