Today I’m sharing my recipe and cost-break-down of Stewart-Size Chili. Two weekends each month I make a stock pot full of this meaty-veggie-goodness. It goes a long way, and is one of our family’s favorite meals!
Now it’s time for homeschool math. Are you ready mom?
{Don’t worry, I’m sitting here with my calculator.}
The total cost to make our chili is approx $15, we enjoy 6 meals over 3 days–Friday night dinner through Monday lunch.
$15 /6 meals = $2.50 per meal / 6 people eating = $0.41 per person/per meal 🙂

**Let me add this is a large recipe and I have a 20 Qt stock pot. You may want to cut it in 1/2 for your family. Also, the 3 cups rice is 1 cup of uncooked rice as one reader has pointed out. Sorry folks, it’s hard to put what is in my stock pot into recipe form, but we’ll get there!**
I always serve the chili with crackers or corn bread. Some of us like to decorate our dinner with sour cream and/or shredded cheese too.
Additional Ways To Serve Chili:
- Over baked potatoes
- Over noodles {my personal favorite}
- Over Nacho chips
- In a Chili Corn Bread Bake {YUM}
- Chili Sandwich {I had to included this. Our 2-year-old loves to make “Chili Sandwiches.”}
