My oldest sister taught me this recipe when I was a teenager. She was in nursing school and had a bunch of super easy weeknight meals that even a 15 year old could cook successfully. I remember she was on a budget, but she still made well rounded meals that we all enjoyed. She would serve this dish with some microwaved canned corn, buttered with salt and pepper.
