Beef Beans and Rice is a quick recipe that is also easy on my wallet. This dish is full of nutrient enriched foods. You can make this dish with any ground meat you prefer. I love that it is a one pot meal with very little prep.
I originally found this recipe in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking 2012 Annual Recipes Cookbook. I added onion and garlic to add more flavor to the meat. You can also top it with parmesan cheese or add a little hot sauce.
