Chili Con Carne €2,41

This is a quick and healthy chili con carne made from brown beans and green bell pepper. It is such a simple recipe that I just do not have much to tell about it.

Budget-tips:

• Some Turkish supermarkets or toko’s in the Netherlands sell bell peppers that are overripe for cheaper. Maybe there are places around you too that sell vegetables that need to go for a lower price.
• Dried beans are even cheaper. You have to soak them for one night. Use half of the beans you need since they double in weight. If the recipe calls for 340 grams canned beans, you use 170 grams dried beans.
• Leftover you can use: leek, coriander, parsley, carrot, avocado, corn.

Tips for big eaters:

• The recipe already has a lot of beans for one person, but you can also buy an bigger jar.
• Add rice to the chili con carne.

Other tips:

• The original recipe calls for 200 grams of beans. But a can of 200 gram beans is the same price as one of 340 grams! You might have leftovers for lunch!
• I threw in a madame Jeanette/adjuma pepper. Any pepper, sambal or hot sauce will go great with this!
• The bell pepper can be any colour.
• If you do not eat pork you can use minced beef. This has less fat so make sure to use some oil or butter when baking.
