recipe suggestion for prisoners

I don't know what to call this, but its my favorite recipe lately . Its cheap and economical, filling, and good, and there's a good amount of protein. " Poor Mans" Ranchero Black Beans and Rice Ingredients 4oz dry rice ( or 8, the bags of rice we have are 8oz , I use half ) Small bag of pork cracklins ( "Real" pork cracklins- NOT the bone marrow kind . I use Pepe's but who knows what your prison will have ... ) 10 oz black beans 1/2 bag egg crystals ( You could use the whole bag, but they're 3$ ) Hot sauce Cost : About 7$ but you'll have enough eggs and rice for another bowl , so its more like 5. This is about 2 full meals, also. Rehydrate the pork rinds along with the rice. If you use Pepe's the rice will now be red and the pork rinds should be chewy like meat but not soggy. Microwave and then shred the egg crystals with a spork. Heat up the black beans and mix with the rice. Then I add salt and hot sauce as I'm eating it. Fills the kind of bowel sold by Union Supply from 2017-2023... The new ones are smaller. Next I'll write up a microwave hot sauce recipe.
