Thanks for all the great suggestions! It's in the freezer, and I think we'll wait for cooler weather to cook it. It sounds like it'll be a pretty hearty dish, maybe too heavy for summer.
Jellybeans, I don't think we'll have a problem getting through it, even though it's just the two of us. My boyfriend runs 60-70 miles a week and eats like a horse. I have a heck of a time keeping him fed. :roll:
