ETA: I realized I used "..." in my title and it cut off the rest of the thread title. It is supposed to read -Cheap (and healthy) "Chili" Recipe
FF and I make this "chili" once a week. Its delicious and not too expensive to make (we average about $7.50 each time and it makes enough for lunch the next day for the two of us). Some of you who make "real" chili might scoff at this but its genuine enough for us.
We got this recipe from Mens Health magazine online several months ago.
1 lb (or a little more) lean (93/7) ground turkey
1 packet of chili seasoning
1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes (we use the kind with green chilis or jalapenos)
1 14 oz can yellow corn (unsweetened)
1 14 oz can black beans
Saute the meat and drain the liquid. Dissolve the chili mix in 1 cup of water and pour into pan with sauteed meat.
Drain the corn and beans and add to the meat and chili mix. Add the tomatoes (with the liquid in the can too).
Mix everything well and let simmer until it has thickened up a little bit. We like to let most of the water evaporate so the flavor is stronger but if you like it more runny then you can eat it as soon as it is heated through.
I hope you enjoy this quick and simple meal as much as we do!
