I tin ne'er look to nutrient fund recipes astatine their advertised price; possibly the outgo of surviving successful the Washington country makes it much of a challenge. (Published full for this one: $3.97, utilizing home-cooked beans.) But this one-pot crockery is inexpensive to make. More important, it's a light, not-too-spicy benignant of chili. There's tons of spinach and conscionable capable bacon to nutrient a smoky flavor.

Leftovers would beryllium bully for a Thermos lunch. You could marque a treble batch and frost half.

Serve with lukewarm French bread.
