Beefy Tomato Rice Skillet

Beefy Tomato Rice Skillet is a very quick dish that will fill up your family and not break the bank.

Beefy Tomato Rice Skillet is a very quick fix on a busy weeknight. I don’t usually cook with condensed soup but in a pinch it can add flavor to a lot of meals. I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking 2012 Annual Recipes Cookbook. 

Cost Per Serving $2.11 as of May 2022

If you have ZERO ingredients then this recipe will cost about $12.66.

If you have a fully stocked pantry this dish will cost about $11.68.

  • This reduces cost per serving to $1.95.

I am assuming you have salt and pepper and do not add it into the recipe total cost.
