Chilli

  • You can cook chilli in the SC. I don't brown the meat when I do it this way, but you can if you want to. I use tinned tomatoes, and no stock.

    i make chilli all the time in my slowcooker, i brown the mince and drain the fat off then just throw everything in. i always batch cook my spag bols/chilli as i have a 6.5 litre sc so i freeze the rest in individual takeaway containers for quick hm micro meals. my oh loves it when i use my sc as it smells lovely when you walk into the house it also has a dual purpose as it heats my house up downstairs :j
    proper prior planning prevents !!!!!! poor performance! :p

    Hello, m'dear :wave: :grouphug: :dance: My chilli recipe bears a lot of resemblance to my bolognaise recipe :o:p I add crushed chilli in with the onions, and usually use more mince and less vegetables. About an hour before it's done I add about 100g (dry weight) of soaked and cooked beans - pinto are my favourite atm.
