My family really enjoyed this.  I was cooking for dinner club as well as a few other meals so I actually quadrupled it by doubling the batch and making it twice.  We ate it tonight and my family really enjoyed it.  Although the total cook time is long, the hands on time is very minimal. In a pinch, you could likely substitute the spices for a packet of taco seasoning. Very easy and makes great leftovers.  Two thumbs up! This recipe was inspired by one I saw on Budget Bytes.
