Ingredients

3 cups cooked rice ($0.44)

1 Tbsp olive oil ($0.19)

½ large onion (diced (1 cup) $0.39)

½ tsp black pepper (ground $0.05)

½ tsp salt ($0.01)

2 10 oz mild diced tomatoes with green chilies (2 10-oz cans, (with juices) $1.92)

2 15.5 oz pinto beans (2 15.5 oz cans, drained and rinsed $1.72)

1 cup frozen corn ($0.40*)

2 cups Southern greens mix (collard/mustard/turnip chopped, $0.75**)

¼ cup BBQ sauce (any, $0.19***)

1 cup vegetable broth ($0.09****)

Instructions

1 Gather your ingredients. (1 cup of dry rice yields 3 cups cooked, so you can get that started while you’re preparing your beans and greens!)

2 In a large sauté pan, add olive oil, diced onion, pepper, and salt. Cook over medium high heat until soft and glossy, about 5 minutes.

3 Then, add canned tomatoes (with juice), strained and rinsed pinto beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.

4 Then, add greens, BBQ sauce, and vegetable broth. Stir and let this simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes, covered. The greens will be tender and wilted once done. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed!

5 Serve over cooked rice.
