The BEST Chilli Con Carne

September 6, 2014 by Joanna Harrison

My darling step mum was an amazing, honest cook... and one thing I learnt from her, that a few little 'packets' here and there to help you along are nothing to be ashamed of!

Here's the most delicious, traditional, quick and easy chilli con carne receipe... 

• 500gm beef or steak mince (down to preference and I also always use lean)
• One tin of chopped tomatoes
• One red onion
• Chilli con carne powder
• Kidney beans
• Paprika
• Salt & Pepper!
• Tomato puree
• Tomato ketchup!!!!
• Colemans chilli con carne packet!!!! 

• Fry off the mince and onion and then add the tin of chopped tomatoes and kidney beans. Season.
• Contine to cook on a low heat whilst you add two tbls of tomato puree and three - four of tomato ketchup.
• Add in the colemans chill con carne packet and stir
• 3ish shakes of the chilli power and 1 of the paprika
• Taste!!!
• Add more powder to increase spiceyness or more kethcup for sweetness!
