This is NOT meat to actually be a fried rice. Not by any means... but it does resemble one.
Ingredients
1lb hot sausage (if links, remove from casing)
2 cups of uncooked rice (Or left over cooked rice)
4 cups of water (or some sort of broth)
1lb frozen peas and carrots (or preferred veggie)
1/4 Soy sauce
1tbs+2tsp brown sugar
.5tsp red pepper flake
Directions
I use a rice cooker, so I just plop the water and the rice in the rice cooker. Place veggies into a colander and run water over them until thawed.
While the rice is cooking add oil to a pot and remove skin from the sausage. Once the oil is not, crumble the sausage and add it to the pot. When almost done, add the pepper flake and veggies. Meanwhile, mix the brown sugar with the soy sauce and set aside.
Once the rice is done, add the whole mess to the pot, with out draining the sausage. Mix well. Done, delicious.
Sausage $2.59
Veggies $1.29
$3.88*
*All other ingredients are at a negligible cost.

Black beans and rice
Black bean and rice! It's recently become a huge hit at my house. Which is great, because it's super cheap.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons oil
1 onion (diced)
1.5 cup uncooked white rice
3 cups or water or chicken broth (I use water and chicken bouillon)
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cans black beans, drained (or 2lb prepared dry beans)**
Directions
In a medium pan heat oil and add in onion, stir until onions are soft, about 4 minutes. Then add the rice, and saute for a bit longer, about 2 minutes.
Add the broth to the rice and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat until it is simmering and cover. Cook 15-20 minutes until the rice is done. Once it is done, add the spices to the beans and mix, then add to the rice. Viola! Done!
Black beans $2.52
Onion $0.25
$2.77*
* I did not add in the cost of rice, oil, spices or chicken bouillon because the cost is negligible.
** To prepare dried beans soak them in water over night, drain and rinse, then add 4 cups of water. Boil until they reach the desired doneness. This brings the over all price down to $2.03.
