Note
Use a microwave-safe dish with a lid or cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap, vented, to prevent splattering.
Cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. Check the meat after 8 minutes to avoid overcooking.
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened before cubing to help it melt evenly into the sauce.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more milk. If too thin, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
