Sunset Suppers

My intention was to get back and put up a supper post last night but time just somehow got away from from me. I fixed Ronnie's favorite for his birthday:

Soup Beans
Cole Slaw
Fried Potatoes
Cornbread
Cheesecake w/ Cherries

Tonight in my on going quest to economize supper was:

Tacos/ Taco Salad
Cheesy Rice and Beans* (Rice from Sunday - Mixed beans from last night)
Guacamole and Tortilla Chips

Cheesy Rice and Beans

1 small onion - chopped fine
1/2 bell pepper - chopped fine
1 tsp. garlic
2 cups cooked pinto, great northern or mixed beans
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 cup shredded cheese
1 tsp. hot sauce (or to taste)
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar

Cook onion and bell pepper in 1 tsp. vegetable oil until tender. Add the garlic and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes over medium heat.
Add remaining ingredients and heat through. You could also turn into a sprayed 2 qt. casserole and cook at 350* for 15 minutes.

So, until tomorrow...........
