Notes
Stock up on ingredients when they are on sale
. When I find regular kitchen staples on sale, I buy a lot. I’m currently
using a price book to track prices
and that’s saving me money. For this recipe, keeping an eye on the prices of cheese, rice, sour cream, and bacon can help keep the price down.
Use up leftovers - this is a great recipe to use up leftover cooked rice.
