Who doesn’t love a steaming hot bowl of chilli con carne? Whether you are eating a hearty bowl full during winter, having a movie night sharing a platter with it dripping over the nachos or having a lunchtime snack with a jacket potato, chilli con carne is fabulous at any time.
It’s a firm favourite for all of us, but chilli isn’t the easy cook that it should be due to us liking a different amount of spice. So this is the recipe that I start with, and then as it cooks, I split the mixture and then add more heat.
