The chili beans would cost about 65 Baht for 8-10 cups worth, 3-4 cups is minimal. Ground beef would be about 75-100 Baht for 500 grams, pork and chicken would be less. Easily less than $1 per meal for 4 people.
Shortcut: Chili Beans.
Variants: 1. Use a 1 lb 8 oz (680 g) can of ground pork or beef, drained, in place of fresh beef or pork. 2. Use a can of diced tomatoes in place of chopped whole tomatoes.

    I made this on 1 Aug 2016, I used minced pork, followed the recipe as is, exceptional, I also added a pile of shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese to my bowl. My wife (Thai) loved this dish! On my Go-to list for sure.

  2. A bit of ground chili powder, a handful of peppercorns, and some paprika can also be added without adding hardly anything to the cost.

      The chili beans will have the chili powder and paprika (at least the shortcut listed here does) but the peppercorns is a good idea.
