I love this meal for a cold night - pure comfort food, simple and easy. Make double and chuck it in the freezer for an easy meal next week, or have it with rice (and some grated zuchinni), topped with avocado, grated cheese and coriander for a mexican type meal. Then pair the leftovers with cooked quinoa and parsley for lunch the next day.

This is also very budget friendly coming out at about $10.50 for 6 servings.
