As a kid I would eat beans and rice at my grandmother's and all I knew was that they were delicious with her homemade cornbread. I didn't know then that she made them because not only are they classic comfort food, they were a great way for her to stretch her grocery budget and still are today. Pair these with a steam bag of vegetables for a meal that will make both your wallet and your family happy.
