Ramen Chili

Since it is still decently cold out and has been snowing, I though a chili recipe would be fun to create with ramen!  This recipe is very simplistic and can be easily made in a dorm room.  The Ramen Chili yields a little more than previous recipes, a total of 3 (three) servings.  So, you can always put it in a Tupperware like container and save it in the fridge for the next day.  Enjoy this Ramen Chili on a chilly, wintry day!

Ingredients
1 package Ramen (seasoning discarded)
1 can Chili Beans
3/4 Green Bell Pepper, diced

1. Cook ramen according to directions on the package, do not add seasoning packet.
2. Drain water and put back in cooking vessel.

Fifty-nine cents is pretty good for a serving of chili, whether it's ramen or not.  If the recipe I offered seems a little bland to you, there are several ways to make it a little more exciting.  One way is instead of getting just regular chili beans, you can get a different variety like 'spicy' and 'tex-mex.'  You could also top your bowl off with shredded cheese, sour cream, and/or saltine crackers!  However, keep in mind, these additions will alter your total cost and cost per serving (but probably not by too much).
