One of the best ways to save money in your grocery budget is to make good use of leftovers. This recipe will help you use up your leftover rice and beans in an entirely different recipe.
Rice and beans are an extremely cheap meal to make. Rice costs less than a buck a pound if you buy it at the dollar store, Aldi or Walmart. You can use it in a variety of dishes. I sometimes make a boatload of it over the weekend to use in recipes throughout the following week.
You can make fried rice, chicken and rice soup, or rice and beans, just to name a few options. My kids like rice with a little milk, cinnamon, and stevia. You can also freeze either leftover rice or leftover rice and beans for later use.
