Claire, can I come to yours for tea? I'll bring a chocolate cake!

I'm not sure abotu the beef. With the packet chili, brown off the mince as normal and in a jug mix the packet mix with some water, add to the cooked mince and let it simmer.

If you'e going to add teh bean mix, I'd boil them before you add them to teh chili mix.

Beef joint is in slow cooker (the water has gone a very dark brown is that right?)

yes, that is how it will be- it is creating a beef stock around the beef

I've got no bolognaise sauce mix or jars here to make a lasagne or a bolognaise so if anyone can help me out with that i'd be very grateful, (i have a chilli sauce mix but never done chilli before)

For my bolognaise I always use tinned tomatoes, I never use the jars of sauce. I use

Onion
finely chopped carrot
Garlic
Dried mixed herbs
tin of tomatoes
beef stock cube
mince
salt/pepper

then if I have all/some them - bit of red wine/worcester sauce or a bit of brown sauce/pinch of smoky paprika but I don't if I don't have them

For chilli, just do the same but add chilli powder and then kidney beans/baked beans whatever beans you have!

clairewop

oh no kidney beans or baked beans (will they be in the chilli packet mix?)

not doing very well no beef stock cubes
no garlic

have mixed dried herbs
have carrot and onion
have brown sauce
have red wine

not sure about tinned tomatoes

*runs into kitchen to look *

clairewop

ok i have a tin of tomatoes

re baked beans do you mean like the beans in tomato sauce in tins? if so i have a tin of beans and sausages!! (bet i sound really stupid now dont i?)

Burlesque_Babe

have you gravy granules instead of stock cubes? The beans won't be in the chilli packet, no.

How about doing a spicy lasagne? Use the chilli mix with the browned off mince and tomatoes and then layer with lasagne sheets and make a white sauce (butter/flour/milk) also in the layers. Top with the sauce and then grated cheese.

Burlesque_Babe

yes, you can use the tin of beans and sausages - the sausages will be an added bonus And no, not stupid at all.
