The Starving Students' Cookbook

Servings:	1
Author Notes:	This is a perfect gift for college students living away from home the first time. Selling more than 400,000 copies, The Starving Students Cookbook has everything a college student (or adult singles or couples) could want: cheap, quick, easy delicious recipes.
Ingredients:	1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 pound ground beef 1 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 green bell pepper, chopped 1 can (15-ounces) chili 1 can (15-ounces) kidney beans 1 can (15-ounces) crushed tomatoes (don't use stewed tomatoes) 1 jar (10 ounces) salsa (mild or hot, as you like it) 1/2 cup cheap red wine salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:	1. Heat oil in large saucepan on high heat. Add ground beef, onion and garlic. Stir and cook until meat is crumbly and browned. (Drain off excess grease into an old can to discard later.) 2. Add rest of ingredients and stir well. When chili starts to boil turn heat to lowest setting. Cover pan and cook slowly for at least 1/2 hour. Be sure to stir a couple of times during cooking. If you have the time, cooking for 2 to 3 hours allows flavors to blend for an even better taste.
