Traditional Rice Casserole for less than $3
I jsut went and bought the ingredients for my rice casserole this morning. When I totalled it up, I spent less around $2.70 for all the ingredients for my rice casserole, which will easily feed a family of 6. I thought I would share it with you in case you are tight on funds this year and need an idea or two to save money and yet eat well.
- 1 can Beef Consume – $.99
- 1 can French Onion – $.99
- 1/2 cup butter – $.40 (the original recipe called for 1 stick of butter but I try to cut it in half)
- 1 cup rice – $.30
- 1jar/can mushrooms ( I have to leave this out since my wonderful husband thinks they taste like dirt. I married him anyway:)
Here is the hard part … Dump it all in a bowl and bake it at 350 degrees for an hour.
Hope you like it. It is a family tradition at our house. I also hope you enjoy your family this Thanksgiving. Our family will be missing a very important member this year and I hope only to cry a few times.
Happy Thanksgiving from Karen and I. We are so very thankful for all of you.
I like that but I’m with your husband on the mushroom addition. I guess you either love them or hate them.
please forgive my terrible cooking. Is a “can of fried onions” the same as “french fried onions”?
Thanks you!
oops…I ment a can of “french onions” the same as “french fried onions”? are they crispy?
