Ingredients

6 cups prepared mashed potatoes ($2.17)

2 cups frozen corn kernels* ($1.49)

1 15oz. can can black beans ($0.79)

1/2 tsp chili powder** ($0.10)

4 oz. cheddar, shredded ($1.00)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce ($0.68)

2 green onions, sliced ($0.22)

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional) ($0.33)

Instructions

1 Allow the corn kernels to thaw, or heat them through if you plan to eat the bowls immediately. Rinse and drain the black beans, then add them to a bowl along with the chili powder and stir until the beans are coated.

2 To build the bowls, place about 1.5 cups mashed potatoes in each bowl, then top with about 1/2 cup corn kernels, 1/3 cup black beans, about 1/4 cup shredded cheddar, 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions and jalapeño.

3 Serve the bowls immediately, or refrigerate until ready to eat. To reheat, simply microwave until the mashed potatoes are hot and the cheese is melted.
