I'm always on the lookout for super cheap recipes for people trying to stretch their food budget; cheap plus simple is the gold standard. Well, litotes and metonyms, I found a pretty good chili with just five ingredients:

CRAZY SIMPLE CHILI

1 lb ground beef
15 oz tomato sauce
15 oz kidney beans (drained)
15 oz chili beans (undrained)
2 Tbsp chili powder

Cook the beef into crumbles, add the other ingredients, simmer until it's bubbly. That's it. That's like $3 plus whatever a pound of beef costs, and it takes a half hour.

Chili experts will no doubt tell me that it would be better with more ingredients; and they're right! I'm just going for what I consider the simplest recipe that still constitutes good chili. By all means, improve upon this recipe as you see fit.

Will add that I made this today but with fake vegan beef, and it tasted exactly like normal chili, but was 100% vegan.

Oh, the original source of the recipe:
