Eating cheaply, again
Written by allep10 on May 23, 2008 – 10:07 pm -This is one of my favorite foods, it’s cheap, tasty, relatively easy to make, and goes with any number of accessory foods. It is a modification of a recipe for refried beans, although the refrying thing isn’t really necessary.
I cook up a crockpot of pinto beans and about 2 cups of brown rice separately. The brown rice adds flavor, texture and protein to the dish. Drain the beans (dogs love the bean soup, or it can be saved for use in soups, it is very nutritious and low-cal.) Saute an onion and some jalepenos or other peppers. The choice of peppers and the quantity are yours, but the saute event takes out a lot of the heat associatiated. Combine the foods, add a small can of tomato paste, and mash and mix well.
