FIFO Mum Recipe: Chilli Con Carne

With winter fast approaching I thought something to warm you up instead of a sweet treat. This is our Chilli Con Carne recipe we have made and adapted to our likes and I hope you enjoy it!

Chilli Con Carne

Ingredients:
500g Mince Beef
1 onion
2-8 cloves of garlic
1 Can kidney beans
1 Can diced herb tomatoes
1/2 cup water
1 Jar of pasta sauce
2 teaspoons of ground cumin
2 teaspoons of oregano
1 teaspoon of ground coriander
2 Bay leaves
Jalapeno chillies to your liking
Chilli flakes to your liking

Method:
Heat a small amount of oil and cook beef
Add onion and garlic
Add tomatoes
Add herbs, spices and chilli
Simmer for 1-2 hours

How to serve... well this is up to you! In tacos, on nachos, as a pie or on a bed of saffron rice baked with cheese melted on top with sour cream and avocado. Yum!
To make into a pie I use puff pastry and a pie maker however you can also make mini pies in cupcake tins.
