Bacon, carrot, onion, bell pepper, black beans, kidney beans, canned tomatoes, tomato paste. A blend of homemade chili powder, and other herbs and spices. And, of course, corn bread. I used bacon grease for the fat in that.
Cost per person: $2.85
Edit: forgot to mention the smoked cheddar. The fire use of this year’s batch.


The animal protein is bacon. Some people have an unconscious blind spot where if it’s not meat it’s not protein.
