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.


Looks amazing. I bet I’d eat every bit of that. Well done!
I’m heating up the leftovers right now. I’m going to see if it’s even better the second day.
Ah, the true test of a good chili!
Indeed. The spice definitely bumped up. It was so good.
