Bacon Cheeseburger Chili
1 pound lean ground beef $2
1/2 large onion -- finely chopped $.50
2 garlic cloves -- minced
1 package chili seasoning mix -- $1
1 jar chunky salsa -- (16 ounce) $2
1 can diced tomatoes -- (14.5 oz) undrained $.75
1 can beef broth -- (14.5 oz) $.75
1/4 cup smoky barbecue sauce
1 can kidney beans -- (15 oz) drained $.85
3 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 package Velveeta cheese -- (8 oz) diced $1
6 slices precooked bacon -- diced $1.50


In large, heavy saucepan cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heatuntil beef is cooked through and onion is translucent. Add chili seasoning mix, salsa, tomatoes, broth, barbecue sauce, beansand mustard to saucepan; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add cheese and stir until melted. Serve bowls of chili garnished withdiced bacon. Makes 8 cups, serves 4-6.

I loooooooooooove this stuff. I stole this recipe from Matt- he got it from the 'Basic Cigarette Company Winter Cookbook for Men' or something equally silly like that. It's fairly cheap (can do it for less than $10), so easy, and quick. And it is DELICIOUS. I served it with biscuits- a tube of Grand's Biscuits, the flaky buttery kind, split in half, cheddar cheese inside, and then baked. Careful not to put too much salsa in. gotta watch the quantities.
