You know what I love about a meal like this... It can hit 2 different types of eaters, without too much extra fuss in the kitchen. The slow cooked part is more or less the same (1 ingredient is different), and then you pair it with your preferred side dish. i.e. I'd eat this with a small portion of cauli-rice, while the kids ate it with egg noodles.
