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,0 -
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.0

I do the same as above, but cheat and use Colmans Chilli mix for sauce. It's delicious!I Believe in saving money!!!:T

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.
