This week I'm going to be featuring many recipes with Beans! Beans are very economical, easy to make, and are on sale this week at my favorite grocery store, Shaws.

Here is a great recipe that is both Frugal in time and in money!! Enjoy

Arizona Skillet
(8 servings)

2 Tbsp. oil (Olive is best)
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 can (16 oz. can) Kidney beans *Drained and Rinsed
1 pkg. (10 oz.) Frozen corn kernels
2 cans (14 1/2 or 16 oz. each) diced tomatoes *Including Juice
8 oz. Elbow macaroni *cooked and drained
Monterrey Jack Cheese, (Shredded)

In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add Kidney beans, corn, and tomatoes with juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally *about 15 minutes. Toss with macaroni. Sprinkle Cheese to taste.

Money Saving Tip: When beans go on sale $ .50 or less, plan to buy a case of each type of beans you and your family enjoy eating. This will allow you to make very healthy meals at a moments notice. *As we say here at Frugal Living And Having Fun...."It's Better Than Fast Food"!
