  This will likely seem so simple as to be silly-- but the fact is that sometimes we all have brain freeze (under stress, sick, tired, etc.) and it is nice to have a recipe that does not require a bunch of A to Z ingredients and steps, that you can just take leftovers from yesterday-s dinner, open a can or two, and pop the recipe into a small oven (or a big one).
