Vegetarian Chili

By: Karen Hunt

"Hominy and garbanzo beans are interesting additions to the zippy chili that Karen Hunt stirs up using canned goods from her cupboard. 'I often serve it with corn bread or flour tortillas for a speedy meal,' says the Bellvue, Colorado cook. At 72 cents a serving, it's economical, too."
