Rice is a neutral ingredient that can be added to casseroles, soups and other savory dishes. It is a great way to give volume to the recipe and "stretch" the more expensive protein in the meal so everyone gets a full tummy for less! This collection of dinners are all made with rice so they are not only cozy comforting meals but also budget-friendly. With everything from a chicken casserole to a Mexican skillet dish there is a dinner that will please any family!
