I lived on this when money got tight in my student days. Students Chilli is full of flavour yet remarkably cheap to make. Adding sweetcorn makes it even more filling with very little cost. Serve with a portion of boiled rice for a filling main dish. I use a mixture of both beef and pork for the flavour and texture.
