Comments on: Rotel Beans and Rice (Potluck Meal) – $5 Dinner Challenge http://www.5dollardinners.com/rotel-beans-and-rice-potluck-meal/ Feeding the Family for $5 or Less Sun, 19 May 2013 09:00:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Kai http://www.5dollardinners.com/rotel-beans-and-rice-potluck-meal/comment-page-1/#comment-71654 Kai Sun, 27 Feb 2011 18:34:45 +0000 http://www.5dollardinners.com/?p=6021#comment-71654 I was looking for something to go along with the main meat dish of hot wings and I came across this recipe in my search. Oddly enough, I already had the ingredients on hand. I followed the easy instructions, but added smoked beef sausage and voila my side dish for our Monday potluck! It tastes good to me. I just hope everybody that eats it likes it. Thank you for the recipe.

Absolutely! Add 1/2 -3/4 lb. of ground meat!

This sounds yummy, but my hubby and son only will only go for it if it has meat in it. Thanks!

It went over well…there was just enough left for me to put some into a burrito for lunch!

This is the key part of the story! :) I love the recipe – Rotel makes everything yummy, and what a simple dish. My kind of meal.

This post reminded me of something else I need ideas for: To me, the only thing scarier than bringing a dish to a potluck is bringing a meal over for someone who is sick or just had a baby. Not only does it have to taste good, but it needs to be easy to transport and reheat. I work, so it also has to be made the night before if I’m going to get it there by dinner. Oh, and it can’t destroy my whole week’s grocery budget. :) I was wondering if you might consider doing a post on these types of meals. (If you haven’t already). I would love to see your ideas and ideas from others!
