When you think long term storage many times that includes flour, sugar, rice and beans. Those are all things that are great to have in your long term storage. Not only do they store really well long term but they’re cheap and add protein and fiber to your meals. So here are some great meal options you can cook up to use your rice and beans!
- Burrito Bowls – these are easy to put together and each person can add what they desire. All it involves is your rice, your favorite beans, meat of your choice (taco meat, chicken, pulled pork, etc) and your toppings (like lettuce, salsa, tomatoes, cheese, olive, etc)
- Fiesta Black Beans & Rice – this you could easily add meat to or just go without, either option is yummy. Here’s a great recipe you can follow to make your own with what you have on hand.
- Chicken over Rice and Beans – this is filling and yummy! You can add your favorite seasoning or leave plain (how my kids would love it best)
- Chili – this is perfect on a cold evening or while out camping.
- Easy Rice Taco Casserole – Now this one I found I’m excited to try! It uses all the staples I have in my food storage and you probably do too.
- Cheesey Bake Black Beans & Rice – This is a kid favorite and one that can’t go wrong!
Hopefully these will help you think outside the box when it comes to using your food storage and those essentials!
