This was made from dry beans and various veg from the produce drawer plus regular items like scratch made chili powder, onion, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, homegrown bell pepper. Oh, the veg was all sauteed in smoked hog jowel I rendered and crisped. And you gotta have cornbread.
Cost per person: ~$1.70
