I usually do this in the morning before leaving for work so that I had the minimal to do to get dinner ready when I got home. This makes quit a bit of liquid so please do not add more than what is called for. This is really super easy, tasty, and great as leftovers served over rice. You can decide how spicy you want it. I bring this to potlucks and it is always a big hit!
