If we're posting chilli recipes
Then I might have one to trump even Legless' for simplicity (No offence meant of course - it sounds pretty damn tasty!)

Now I am a veggie, so I've not really got any idea how you'd go about shoehorning meat into this; maybe fry it with the onions? Anyway I digress.

Take one large onion. Chop into bits
Lots of garlic (Say 5 or 6 cloves - I like garlicky stuff and this is enough to feed 4 easy) chop up the garlic too.

Fry onion and garlic in a big pan with some oil until they look a bit more cooked than when you started (To be honest you could probably leave 'em raw but I like the smell of frying onions.

Add to the pan: one can of chopped tomatoes, one tin of baked beans, one tin of kidney beans, one tin of other beans (I like butter beans but I'm sure blackeye or aduki or whatever will work okay) Also fling some chilli flakes in at this point - how much is up to you.

Turn the heat right up until it starts to bubble, then back to medium-low heat for 40 minutes, stirring every 10mins so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Bingo, you just made chilli; serve with rice or pasta or baked potatoes or anything - and Legless is absolutely right, it tastes better the next day (I think the capsaicin from the chillies has more time to diffuse?)

Best bit - it feeds 4 people and costs:
onion: 30p
Garlic: 30p
Baked beans: 15p
Tomatoes: 15p
Kidney beans: 15p
Butter beans: 35p
Chilli flakes: 50p for a whole jar from Tesco
Rice: 50p a bag

So a total of 2 pounds 40p split four ways gets you dinner for 60p each.

Oh yeah, I've recently been desperate enough for sushi that I've bought Tesco ready made stuff. Might as well have eaten cardboard with wasabi and soy *shudder*
