I generally use a recipie akin to that for most of my cooked meals, meat + chopped tomatoes can be turned into most styles of dish by changing the spices and herbs that you use.

Best investment I ever made was getting a decent spice rack and keeping it well stocked, along with Worcestershire Sauce, Soy Sauce, a decent mild Chilli sauce (mild because if I want a kick I'll use a lot more chilli powder) and tomato puree.
