For dinner tonight we had Slow Cooker Chilli Con Carne.

700g mince (beef or turkey), 1 large onion chopped, 2-3 cloves garlic-crushed (or to taste) 1 tsp chilli powder (or to taste), 1/4 tsp chilli flakes (or to taste), 1 tsp paprika (or to taste), 2 tins chopped tomatos, 2 tins kidney beans, 1 tblesp tomato puree, 200ml beef stock (chicken if using turkey)

Brown off the meat and pop in SC. Fry off onion and garlic then add the chilli, chilli flakes and paprika and fry for 2-3 min. Pop it all into SC. Add water to pan and heat up (this is for the stock and will incorperate anything that is left in the pan). Put the rest of the ingredients in the SC. Add stock cube/powder (I use bisto best as we have 2 who are GF.) Top up with water from the pan.

Stick on low for the day and serve in the evening with a dollop or two of sour cream and rice or crusty bread or tortilla chips.

This can be bulked out with grated carrot and/or lentils. Though if adding lentils add extra stock.

For anyone who is going to try this, MRT has reduced the Nestle condensed milk to 50p :j

It was a major success!

I decided to make it in a jar so covered the top with foil, put into the slow cooker (I used my small 1.5l one), boiled a kettle, let the water cool a little, pour the water to just above the level of the milk, put the lid on and left overnight on low for 8 hours.

This could def become addictive.

It is like scraping the caramel off a ton of Mars bars and sticking it in the jar, except this was thicker than Mars type caramel.

I used Farmlea condensed milk, 99p a tin from most supermarkets.

I've just put my tin of condensed milk in the slow cooker!

In a jar,that is.

Great expectations.:D

Butter chicken for tomorrow's dinner and the freezer. Will use it to cook cashew nut curry for tomorrow as well (cashews currently soaking in weak brine).

Rhubarb compote with home grown rhubarb. Hopefully breakfasts for us for a few days with some homemade yoghurt.

Somerset Pork ......... slap wrists for me as the sauce came out of a jar. But it was from Home Bargains so it was very cheap.
