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.


Ah, the true test of a good chili!
Indeed. The spice definitely bumped up. It was so good.
