Mmmm chili. My favorite cheap fast chili is a pound of browned ground beef, plus two cans of Ranch Style Beans and two cans of tomato sauce and a big spoonful of chili powder, simmered for a good long while (although you *can* eat it as soon as the canned stuff gets warmed through). It's even better the next day! I used to eat a ton of that when I was in college and shortly thereafter -- when I moved to Michigan, I made my dad ship me a case of Ranch Style Beans because they don't have them up there. :)
