Ingredients

4 tbsp unsalted butter $0.75
1/2 yellow onion, diced small $0.39
3 celery stalks, diced small $0.26
2 medium carrots, diced small $0.26
6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced $0.42
2 15oz. cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed $2.56
1/4 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce* $0.52
2 tbsp water $0.00
2 cups fresh kale, chopped $0.50
1/4 cup blue cheese dressing $0.31
3 cups white rice, cooked $0.64

Instructions

Cook rice according to package directions. (1 dry cup will yield about 3 cooked cups of rice.) Drain and rinse the cannellini beans.
Dice celery, yellow onion, and carrots to make a mirepoix.
Add the butter, celery, onions, and carrots to a large skillet. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or just until the veggies begin to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the white beans, Buffalo-style hot sauce and water to the skillet. Stir and cook over medium heat until the beans are heated through.
Add the kale to the pan and stir until bright green and wilted. No need to cook for too long. Serve a heaping spoonful on top of rice, drizzling blue cheese dressing over the top. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Enjoy!

Notes

*Frank's hot sauce will do just fine!
