## Tips

- You need to be very careful who you make this for because this isn't just dinner, it's a freaking lease agreement and they are never going home.
- Unless you're ready for a permanent roommate begging you to cook this every single night, I suggest you keep this one for yourself.
- Serve with rice, potatoes, or bread.
