What to do with a tin of chilli beans?

Katgoddess

I picked up a tin of chilli beans a couple of months ago by mistake. It is basically a tin of kidney beans flavoured with chilli spices etc. If I was to add this to left over bolongnaise would it make it into a pseudo chilli con carne? Would it be hot enough?

Any other ideas to use the tin up?

TIA

I think a good way to use them would be when you have scrammbled eggs and sausages - nice addition to the plate as I don't think they will be that spicy

Personally I'd either do chilli con carne, or mash the beans up and maybe add some tomatoes and use them in a wrap along with whatever meat or anything else you may like to use...as a burito tyre thing?

It would be great added to some leftover bolognese or mince of some decription. It's not that spicy though so would be worth adding some more cayenne or chilli powder.

Those beans are also nice with some fried onion, fried peppers, a tin of tomatoes and blitzed to make chilli bean soup.

plain tortilla chips in a shallow dish, pour over beans, add sliced pickled chillies if you like it hot, grated cheese , grill until cheese has melted. YUM YUM YUM

I used a tin this week! Recipe in Good Food Magazine. Cook mince, add chilli beans chopped onion and chopped toms and put mash on top (I added cheese). Sort of a cottage pie. Was very nice!!

Or you could fry some onions till yummy and brown, then add a tin of tomatoes and the tin of chilli beans and simmer for a while. Serve it with some rice and maybe some sweetcorn. Very filling and tasty and cheap. I used to make it all the time and haven't thought of it for ages - I must get some chilli beans!
