Budget Friendly Veggie-Chili

2 15oz cans pinto beans

1 16oz can kidney beans

1 15.5oz can hominy

1 15 oz can chick peas

All of the above drained and rinsed

1 28oz can crushed tomatoes

1 6oz can tomato paste

1 4 oz can chopped green chilies, undrained (I used diced, couldn't finr chopped)

2 small zuchinni, halved and thinly sliced

1 med onion chopped

 1.5 to 2 cups water

1 to 2 tbs chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp sugar

Put it all in a pot, bring to boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 30-35 minutes. Add cheese and eat.

 SOOOOOOOOOO EASY and CHEAP. I probably spent less than $10 on the whole thing. Very yummy too. I just made up a big pot for work lunches and I'll probably freeze a jar or 2 as well.

Next time I think I'll add corn too.

Enjoy!

    After reading this - I can't wait to try zucchini in my chili next time!

    We don't eat canned food at my house any more - so over the weekend when I made chili, I cooked up beans from scratch (dried) for the very first time.  They came out great!

    Yeah, I'm sure that would work just fine too. Just cook them all first and then add your other ingredients.
