Eating Like Kings Day 2: Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms wiith Brown Rice

We love mushrooms at our house, especially those big meaty port0bello mushrooms! That's why I was thrilled to find these organic mushrooms on markdown!

We used them to make one of my most recent crockpot favorites, Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms. It's super easy and completely delicious. I served it on a bed of brown rice with green beans on the side. Because there is not much "gravy," I whipped up a packet of organic vegetarian brown gravy that I had in my cupboard. Delicious!


Here's the cost breakdown:

Mushrooms: $2.29

Tomatoes: We used tomatoes from our garden that I'd frozen.

Olive Oil- 2 T, about .50 cents worth

Balsamic Vinegar: Oops, forgot to put it in...but it was still good!

Misc Spices- about .05 worth

Cheese- I was out of Parmesan and did not realize it until after I started. Oops again. I substituted some cheddar I had around and it turned out okay, but the Parmesan had more flavor! The cheese was 1.66 for 8 oz, and I used about 3 oz, or about .60 cents worth.

The brown rice was $2 for a 2 pound a bag. We used 1/4 of the bag, or about .50 cents worth. We had lots of leftover rice too, so we will incorporate that into another meal or eat it for lunch!

The gravy was on markdown for .19 cents a pack.

The green beans were purchased at the last 10 for 10 sale. We used 1/2 of the package, or .50 cents worth, with leftovers that will be incorporated into another meal or eaten for lunch.

Total: $4.63, or $1.54 a person, with leftover rice.
