I can get real creative...

I can get real creative when my budget is tight and I have leftovers in the house! LOL Today I had some leftover ranch style beans in the frig that I wanted to use up. About a cup of them. Pretty boring all by themselves, but here's what I came up with:

Using the beans as a "base" - I made 2 servings of brown Minute Rice. (About 1 1/3 cups cooked). Once the rice had rested, I added the beans to it. I also added 1 12 oz canned of Great Value canned chicken (drained and rinsed). Then I added 4 T. of Kraft BBQ Sauce. Stir it all together and heated thru on stove top.

This is high in protein and carbs (fiber) and delicious! Makes a good amount. I ate 1/2 and have another meal for another day.

I did add it to the reciipe data base - but I'm under the impression that their recipe data base isn't public yet, is that correct?

Have a healthy, happy day!
