Chilli Con Carne

Chuckles · 13-09-2008, 20:14

Inspired by Tak and SINC, I've cooked probably the first thing I've ever done from ingrediants (no stir in sauces).

This is how it was done

300G beef mince
1 chopped onion
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 small tin of kidney beans
Good few shakes of hot chilli powder
couple of teaspoonfulls of crushed chillis
couple of teaspoonfulls of bisto to thicken.

Not the most advanced thing in the world compared with some here, but we'll see how it turns out!

This is it so far

I've heard that before but my parents never did and I've always nommed theirs. If it's a case of lob that lot in a pan then even I might give it a go. Would also be my first (save things like bread which don't count due to using a breadmaker).

Tak said that as well!

I don't have any though

Looks tasty to me

Might have to make chilli sometime, never cooked it as I don't like mince but just had quorn mince last night in a bolognaise and liked it so worth a go

No garlic ?

Here's my recipe ( to serve 6 hungry centre parcers ! )
Olive oil
1 large Onion diced
Mixed herbs
Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic
1KG Mince
4x beef oxo
2x veg oxo
2 tins chopped toms
2 tins kidney beans
3x peppers
2 tbs tom puree
2 tsps chilli powder
2 tsps hot chocolate powder
salt & pepper to season

Cook the diced onion in the olive oil, add the garlic, mixed herbs and worcs sauce
Once cooked add the minced beef and cook until browned
Add the oxo cubes and cook for 2/3 mins
Add the other ingredients and cook for as long as possible !
( we usually cook for about 5 hours in the slow cooker, last week we simmered on the hob for about 3 hours )

Looks good mate, hope you're still alive

I'll whack up my recipe when I get home tomorrow, and I'll be putting up my curry recipe too

Was pretty good!

The texture was great and the temperature was great but it was kinda missing something. Not sure exactly how to describe it though. It wasn't bland but it wasn't quite tasty as I know they can be!
