Some recipes just stick with you for the long haul. This is one of them!
You're going to want to pull out this recipe when the temps go down, when football is on, or when you just need a comforting, easy meal for dinner. The best part is that if there are leftover you can freeze them for an easier meal later on! I love these glass storage containers for leftovers - they don't stain or leak plastic chemicals into my food :)
