Amanda over at A Few Short Cuts has her meal deal posted.  This week she is offering a vegetarian option: Black Beans and Yellow Rice. 
I do beans in the crock pot quite often.  Beans are healthy, my family loves them and they are super easy!!  Based on the fact that Amanda has determined you can make this meal for around $1.73 per person–meals that include beans are quite inexpensive!!
Go HERE to see Amanda’s meal deal.
Shhh…don’t tell Amanda—I do a similar recipe and you could throw in a 1/2 pound of cooked smoked sausage –if your house is like mine with a bunch of hungry meat eaters 😉
