(Actual) Chili this time

I can seirously get down on a bowl of classic chili.

Ingredients:

• ½ pound ground pork
• 2 cups of assorted beans (I used red and black, that I froze from Red Beans and Rice and black beans from when I made Deconstructed Chili)
• 2 slices Applewood Smoked Bacon
• “Marinara” Sauce from Calzones (Check)
• 3 cloves garlic
• Ancho Chili Powder
• Smoked Paprika
• Salt and Pepper to taste

1) Chop bacon and garlic. Add to a pan.

2) Once bacon has rendered, add ground pork.

3) In a pot heat tomato sauce.

4) To sauce, add beans and about a cup of water if there’s not enough liquid.

5) To ground pork add paprika and ancho chili powder to taste.

6) Once pork is cooked through add to tomato sauce and beans.

7) Add salt, pepper, and more chili powder to taste.

8) Simmer until some water has cooked off and chili has thickened.

Serve with chopped onions and grated cheddar cheese (optional).

Cost breakdown:
Pork: $2.40
Bacon: $0.46x2= $0.92
Beans: $0.32+$0.25= $0.57
Marinara Sauce: Negligible since the cost was already absorbed into the Calzones
Garlic: $0.06x3= $0.18
Chili Powders: So hard to calculate -_-

Total: $2.40+$0.92+ $0.57+$0.18= $4.07 +small cost of chili powder for multiple servings
Side note 1: The total cost will be slightly more if making the tomato sauce fresh, or if using the optional garnishes. 

Waffles and Meatballs

This is a play on a meatball sub except I didn't have bread so I used waffles instead. Thi was also one of those meals that was legit made from past meals. This literally took me about 15 minutes to cook and no real prep time because everything was already prepared.

Ingredients:

Hamburger/Meatballs from Stuffed Hamburger
2 Waffles from Sporadic Breakfasts 

Tomato sauce from Chicken Cacciatore with Polenta

Mozzarella Cheese (Not pictured)
Lettuce (Not pictured)

1) Cook meatballs over medium heat. 

2) Add tomato sauce from Chicken Cacciatore with Polenta. I added some water because the sauce was too thick.

3) While meatballs are cooking, heat waffles in a toaster.

4) Layer lettuce on top of waffles. Add meatballs and sauce. Put cheese on top.

Cost breakdown:

• Meatballs: $1.11 (check Stuffed Hamburger for the full breakdown).
• Tomato sauce: $0.77 (check Chicken Cacciatore the full breakdown)
• Waffles: $0.17x2= $0.34 (checkSporadic Breakfast for full breakdown) 
• Mozzarella cheese: $2.84/16= $0.18
• Lettuce: $0.20/2= $0.10

Total: $1.11+$0.77+$0.34+ $0.18+ $0.10= $2.50
