1 x 400g of chilli beans
1 x large onion, diced
3-4 x gloves of garlic, minced
2-3 x vegetables of choice, grated.

Spice mix
1 x TBS: onion powder & garlic powder

Method
Prepare your vegetables and keep them to the side.
Heat a large pan on med heat, and add oil.
Add onions and cook until semi-soft, then add your mince.
Brown your mince then add garlic, tinned tomatoes and your spice mix. Mix well and cook for 5mins.
Add water until it reaches a consistency you like.
Add vegetables (sauteed or fresh) and mix well.
Turn the heat down to med-low and let cook for 10mins. However, the longer the better,
Once this is cooked, turn off the heat, and pop on the lid or a large plate to keep warm.
Serve with your choice of carbohydrate.
Hot tips!
Prime mince is lower in fat but often standard mince is much cheaper.
You can either sauté your veges before adding them to the mince or just add them fresh. I prefer adding them fresh.
Beans - chilli beans will add a heap of flavour and boost fibre
Cheap veges - carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, leafy greens!
You can use any brand of spice mix - Value Brand is typically less than $1.
