Chilli Con Carne Recipe

I do love cooking Chilli Con Carne for my husband.  He likes his chilli really hot.

I do feel lucky that there are so many ready made sauces to choose from any supermarket nowadays.

You can get them in jars and even in sachets as powder mix.

I have to say that I cook it using the jar one but I do add a teaspoon more powdered chilli to it, to really make it hot which makes Peter take a dose of Gaviscon just before bed. 😉

Chilli Con Carne Recipe

This is how I do it using Mexican chilli con carne sauce.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo ground beef

Olive oil or any vegetable oil

1 red pepper, diced

1 Mexican jar, Chilli con carne sauce

1 can of red kidney beans

1 onion, chopped

salt and pepper to taste.

As my husband likes it hot, I usually add extra chilli powder to the mixture.

Procedure:

Cook ground beef in a pan with a splash of olive oil.

Add the onion and then the red pepper.  Cook until tender.

Add the jar of Chilli con carne sauce and that extra chilli powder for a bit of oomph

Add red kidney beans.

Add  salt and pepper to taste.

Mix well and cook for another 10 minutes.

Enjoy it with rice or chips
