I made this for my family of 5, and it wasn't nearly enough food (even after I added a can of beans). I also think it lacked complexity and was just a bit too spicy for most of us. It was easy. If I made this again, I would probably completely double it to make enough food. It also took quite a bit of extra time to thicken, but I don't recall how much.
