Beefy Rice

This is one of those recipes that I just kind of made up to use up some beef stew that we had left over.  There was no meat left, but lots of yummy broth and veggies.  I measured the broth and then cooked the appropriate amount of rice, and here it is, beefy rice.  Never waste!  I hate throwing stuff out.

How much does it cost?

1 Tablespoon butter = $.50
1 cup rice = $.40

I am not counting the beef broth since it was the left over of another recipe that many people would have just thrown out anyway.

So, this side dish cost about $.90.

A prepackaged flavored rice mix is about $1.25.  So, you would save $.35 per recipe.  We cook rice about once a week, so each month, we would save about $1.40 and $16.80 per year.
