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.
Beefy Rice
Ingredients
2 cups beef stew leftovers
1 Tablespoon butter
1 cup rice
Directions
- Put broth and butter in a sauce pan and bring to boil.
- Pour in rice
- Turn down heat and let simmer until the moisture is gone, about 20 minutes.
- Fluff rice and serve.

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.
