Copy a recipe

I have a few recipes that I will make with just one variation. For example I make Eggroll in a Bowl monthly. Sometimes I use ground pork, sometimes ground chicken. There are some pretty big differences in the macros depending on whether it is ground pork or ground chicken. It would be great to be able to take a recipe I already entered and copy it. Then I could simply edit it and save. For now I just use the ground chicken recipe that I have in and then do a quick add to add what I need to count for using pork instead. I should take the time to just create the recipe using pork from scratch but I have so many recipes that I would need to create 2nd and 3rd ones with just one different ingredient. It's easier but less helpful to just use quick add.
