On A Budget Chili Recipe
Who doesn’t love chili? It’s hot, delicious, and extremely filling. Okay, so just about everyone loves chili. What we don’t tend to love though is the price tag that usually comes with making a large pot of chili. This is all about to change though as we’re going to share an easy, delicious chili recipe with you that will cost you under $20 to prepare.
Ready to take a look and get started? Take a look at the ingredients below!
- 2lbs Ground Beef
- 1 Can of Kidney Beans
- 1 Can of Chili Beans (with or without sauce)
- 4 Cans of Stewed Tomatoes
- 1 Onion
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 1 Packet of Chili Powder
Got that? Good! These are the only ingredients that will need unless you like to top your chili with crackers, sour cream, cheese, Fritos, or whatever. Now, how to cook it.
- Pour all 4 cans of Stewed Tomatoes into large pot over Med Heat
- Dice Onion (like you would for a hot dog) and Garlic Clove
- Brown the Ground Beef over Med to Med High Heat mixing in Onion and Garlic
- Once Ground Beef/Onion/Garlic is ready, mix in with Stewed Tomatoes
- Add both cans of Beans to mix as well as the packet of Chili Powder
- Cook (Med Heat) for about 30 to 40 minutes covered or uncovered.
- Serve and enjoy! (Typically serves around 4-6 people)
Sounds pretty easy, right? Well, that’s because it is. This is a very simple chili recipe that you can prepare in less than an hour without spending more than $20. These numbers were calculated based on what we paid. You can buy ground beef by the pound for around $3 a pound. An onion is less than a dollar as is a garlic clove and packet of chili powder. Then all you need is the beans and stewed tomatoes which should run you around .80 to $1.20 a can depending on what brand you buy. One more thing before you go though so check this out.
We put this recipe together assuming you were cool with ground beef. If you’re not and prefer something like turkey burger, go right ahead! We’ve actually had it with both (as well as different kinds of beans) and have to admit that it tastes great regardless. It could just be the simplicity of the recipe but that’s what this is all about. You get to save money, eat good, and be happy. All at the same time! Doesn’t get much better than that, huh?
We don’t think so either. Now, what are you waiting for? Get to the grocery store or wherever it is that you shop so you can get your hands on everything needed to make this affordable chili recipe. Your entire family will thank you for this one and will wonder what chef or food guru that you stole this recipe from. They may not even believe that you made it in less than an hour in your own home! Anyways, we hope you like this recipe!
