I need to add more inexpensive fillers to our meals to help lower our grocery budget. Everyone likes brown rice so I am wondering what meals or sides are good that contain a fair amount of it.

I already add it to my meatloaf and taco meat to make it stretch farther and we use it when we make stir fry and sometimes in soups. I also lurve a big bowl of steaming brown rice with warm milk and brown sugar on it:)

Any other ideas for cheap meals with brown rice?

Good links for recipe sites that contain alot of bean and rice recipes would also be helpful.

I use the rice "mix" recipes on Hillbilly Housewife with brown rice.

I have a grain grinder, so cream of rice cereal is sometimes good. I also make rice pudding with brown rice. It's maybe not a cheap treat, but if you happen to have lots of eggs on hand, it is definitely yummy!

Oh, I also use brown rice for chicken divan (broccoli, rice, chicken, cheese).

Fried rice
I put it in lentil stew
I put it in most of my soups
We eat it plain with many meals

Oh, yeah, love fried rice...haven't made that in awhile...

We do brown rice balls rolled in furikake or just sesame seeds and seaweed. We also do just rice with a sprinkle or two of the furikake. We also serve a lot of soups over rice.

Might not be a filler, but I just did my own rice milk yesterday from brwon rice and DD is drinking and liking it :)
