Homemade chilli and beer bread

Hey , it's cold outside!   We had homemade chilli  and beer bread last night.  we aren't fond of cornbread.

Beer bread is four ingredients.  The fewer the ingredients, the faster and easier the recipe is to make,  
Bisquick, sugar, beer.   After baking, you melt butter on the top of the loaf pan and remove the bread from the pan about ten minutes after cooling on a rack.   Easy!  

Chilli was made in the pressure cooker,    I cooked pinto beans after rinsing and picking them.  Two cups of beans, raw and dry with enough water to cover about two inches . ( second buckle) .  Cook 30 minutes.   Drain beans,    Add :,

  • cooked hamburger (1/2 pound: I used   some my husband ground from a piece of steak.   
  • A can of diced tomatoes, not drained,  
  • A can of beer 
  • 2 cups of beef broth
  • 2 T taco seasoning (homemade) 
  • 1 -10 ounce can of enchalada sauce.   You could use a 8 ounce can of tomato sauce, but I got enchalada sauces really cheap.    
  • 1 small can of green chillis 
Cook in pressure cooker on manual for 30 minutes.   

Done,   You can make the bread and assemble the ingredients for the rest of the chillis hike the beans are cooking,   

Cost 
Hamburger 1.50
Beans .12 
Diced tomatoes .50
Beef broth .15 
Taco seasoning n/a
Enchilada sauce .33 ( old El Paso, dollar tree) 
Green chillis .58 ( Winco) 

Total 3.18 for 4 quarts.   Two meals.   Or 1.59 a meal.   
Note : taco seasoning  is homemade.   You can make homemade bisquit mix that hasmno hydrogenated oils.    I found enchalada  sauce for less than I could make it from scratch.   You could use a can of tomato sauce.  8 ounce cans are as low as .28 sometimes at Alberways or Fred Meyers.  
Green chillis are by far the cheapest at Winco.   You could put any fresh chilies you like in instead,   I like the fact that milk green chilies are predictable heat.
