Chilli con carne recipe & questions

Here is mine! Makes a lot but easy to freeze what you don't want.

700g lean minced beef
2 large onions
5 garlic cloves (or garlic paste)
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
3 red or green chillis
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tin kidney beans 400g
1tsp brown sugar (I use the sachets from cafes!!)

fry mince, add chopped onions & crushed garlic until soft. Add chopped peppers & chillies, tomatoes & a pinch of salt & pepper. Cover & simmer for 2 hours. Add cumin, kicney beans & sugar & cook for a further 10 mins.

I tend to make it the day before & then reheat whatever pertions require for the next day,

I always put a tin of baked beans and a tin of chopped tomatoes as well as kidney beans in mine to make it stretch further.

I do the same as above, but cheat and use Colmans Chilli mix for sauce. It's delicious!

I always throw in a few handfuls of red lentils, stretches it further, tastes fantastic and thickens the sauce nicely.

I also add dark chocolate (rather than cocoa), and a little squeeze of lemon. You don't know they are in there, but notice the difference if they are left out iyswim.

Makes it not terribly authentic, but it tastes great!

I am looking for recipes to cook in my new slow cooker, but not having much luck.


One of our favourite meals in chilli con carne. Can this be made in the SC?
