“If you’ve got your own jarred seasoning in the cupboard, even better. It’s going to be even cheaper. 

“Just stir it all through. Add a full tin of tomatoes, full tin of mixed beans, and then half-fill one of the tins with water and tip that in as well. 

“Break up the tomatoes, and then let this bubble away now on a low heat. 

“I’ve added the sliced onions into some hot oil, just to get them nice and crispy, and I’m going to griddle pan these hot dogs. 

“80p for this tin of hotdogs. F*** knows what meat it is, but can’t really afford to be picky these days. 

“Finish your chilli off with a little bit of salt and black pepper. 

“Hot dogs onto the buns, and smothered them in that mixed bean chilli. 

“Just make a mess of it, be generous with it. 

“I broke up a ball of mozzarella, just spread it all over and whack these under your grill now for a couple of minutes, just until the cheese has melted. 

“And just look at the absolute state of these. They’re an absolute mess, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. 

“Finish them off with the crispy onions and some optional chives, and there you have it.”

Fans loved his cheap treat, with the recipe gaining more than 5,900 likes and 172,500 views.
