Chilli con carne recipe

A flavoursome, easy slow-cooked beef chilli which you can serve with rice, nachos, jacket potatoes, tacos or tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • This makes a large amount but it will keep for up to three days in the fridge and it freezes very well. With it being slow-cooked, it’s worth making a bigger quantity, and you’ll always have some to hand.
  • You could serve it with guacamole, and top it with sour cream and grated cheese.
  • A good-quality beef stock will make all the difference.
