This recipe was originally inspired by one shared on the Frugalwoods blog as their ultra-frugal solution to packed lunches. My version contains meat, broth, and a slightly more generous serving size, and hence it is a little bit less frugal, but it’s still a great alternative to eating out. This freezes and re-heats really well, so it can be made once a month and alternated with other lunch options if, like us, you don’t enjoy eating the same meal day after day.
