Mouthwatering Chilli Beef with Nachos

This Chilli Beef with Nachos recipe is a very simple slow-cooked chilli made on the hob or in a slow cooker. The result is a delicious, flavoursome chilli with an excellent overall taste that is not too hot and can be served to the kids as it is. If this recipe is too hot, add more sour cream. The chilli is very mild to suit everyone but if you like a good hot chilli kick, add some spicy tomato salsa on your portion instead of mild.
