Make a big batch early in the week so that you have something readily available when you need it. This recipe provides plenty of flavor on its own, but you can also easily adapt it to incorporate veggies, lean meats and additional toppings of your choice. What more could you want from a weeknight meal?

Today’s Food Tip
Go lean with protein
Protein is an important part of a balanced diet. Choose breast meat or low-fat ground chicken or turkey. Or choose ground beef that is 90% lean or more. Limit meat and poultry servings to around 3 ounces — about the size of a deck of cards.
