Chilli Con Carne





Chilli Con Carne






This chili is delicious. I use two cups beef broth instead of beef bouillon cube.

Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar (any type)
  • 1 lb / 500g beef mince / ground beef
  • 3 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 red capsicum (bell pepper), diced
  • 800g / 28 oz can crushed tomato
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion , diced (brown, white, yellow)
  • 14 oz / 420g can red kidney beans , drained (or other beans)
  • 2 beef bouillon cubes , crumbled (Note 1)
  • 1/2 - 1 1/2 cups / 125 - 375 ml water

CHILI SPICE MIX:
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 5 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 4 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 - 2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste) (Note 2)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder (or onion powder)

TO SERVE
  • Sour cream, yoghurt, grated cheese, coriander./cilantro (Note 6 for more)
  • Rice, corn chips, tortillas (Note 5 for more)

Instructions

First Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute, then add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent.

Then Turn heat up to high and add beef. Cook, breaking it up as you go, until mostly browned.

Add Chili Spice Mix. Cook until beef is browned all over. (This step helps release extra flavour from the spices)

Add remaining ingredients, with 1/2 cup of water for Quick Cook or 1 1/2 cups for Slow Cook. Bring to simmer, then adjust heat per step below:

Quick Cook - 20 to 40 minutes, uncovered, on medium low heat so it's bubbling gently; OR

Slow Cook - 1.5 hours to 2 hours, covered, on low heat so it's bubbling very gently. (Note 3 Slow Cooker)

Adjust salt and pepper to taste just before serving.

Serve over rice, or ladle into bowls and serve with corn chips or warm tortillas on the side with Toppings of choice (Note 6). See Note 7 for more serving options. My usual: Either over rice or with corn chips, always with sour cream, cheese and coriander.

Happy Cooking TimeJ
