Thank you so much judy! I have bookmarked SOAR in the past, but with a billion things to do just didn't give it a thought. I have such a variety of beans and rice that I can use all the ideas I can get ;-)

Cheap and Easy Beans and Rice Meal

Canned Refried, pintos, or black Corn Tortillas Canned Corn Olives Cheese (jack, ched, or mozz) Onions Salsa (any kind) Salad greens

Cut or tear 3-4 tortillas into bite sized pcs. and scatter on center of dinner plate. Top with beans and layer with any or all of the above ingredients in descending order

Yikes...hit the enter button....anyway, microwave until cheese melts (about 2-3 min). Finish with a garnish of salad on outer edge of plate. It's pretty and tastes very good. Far more interesting than a burrito and more attractive.

My mom makes my favorite soup/goulash: 2 packs of 13-bean mix 1-2 LARGE cans of V8 or comparible canned tomato juice (mild or spicy) 2 packs of frozen brussel sprouts (I won't eat them in anything else.) Dried onion (add to taste)

Open up cans of V8 juice or tomato juice and put in large kettle. Add dried beans, frozen brussel sprouts and dried onions into the kettle. Simmer until all beans are rehydrated and cooked, brussel sprouts are hot. Serve and eat.

This is a wonderful dish that is very filling and tasty. The brussel sprouts are actually quite good because the tomato's acid tones down the sprouts strong taste - I won't eat brussel sprouts any other way now... You might want to add some Beano though, with all the beans in the mix. Hope you enjoy! :-)
