just cooked up a lovely chili

i normally use something along the lines of (for 2 portions + 1 left over for next day):

dice 1 onion and soften with 3 crushed & chopped garlic cloves

add as many fresh chili's as you like, with or without seeds to your preference (i normally have 3 with seeds in)

add 250g steak mince and brown

crumble in an oxo cube and add a spoonful of bisto granules to enhance the beefy flavour and give a darker colour

lots of worcester sauce

lots of tabasco habanero sauce

lots of ketchup (the sweetness in the ketchup works well with the tomatos - some people just add sugar)

oregan, cumin, hot chili powder, cayenne pepper and paprika to taste

then add tin of tomatos and small tin of kidney beans and some water (just enough to rinse out the 2 tins in succession so you don't waste any)

leave to simmer for however thick you want it and serve with rice and salad

saw someone cooking one on ramsay's f-word and they put baked beans in there's what's your secret ingredient?

is this the best thing i have to do on a friday night?

first of all! i fucking love that stuff! i've finished the bottle i bought now and can i fuck find it for sale anywhere now?!? cant remember where i bought it

Chilli is maybe my all time fav meal i cook and could have it EVERY day

dont you add any peppers?

how much "oregan, cumin, hot chili powder, cayenne pepper and paprika to taste "??

also i dont use fresh garlic but might try that.

i use chilli beans from asda instead of plain kidney beans.

I do mine an easier way and use a cheat packet D

one onion diced and softened, add mince and brown.
drain excess water
2/3 peppers
2 larger chillis and maybe 5 "thin" chillis because i like it HOT
1 tin asda chopped tomatoes with chilli and peppers
1 tin chill beans
1 packet schwartz hot chilli con carne mix(has to be the HOT one for flavour)
little salt for flavour
more chilli powder to taste

and my secret ingredient fo a better chilli is crushed black pepper

Serve with asda hot chilli tortillas and brown basmati rice. et voila

now guess whats gonna be in my head ALL day?
i might rustle one up for tonight.

might try it your way with the oxo,gravy other stuff.

chop the chilli conniseur

that's 2 things you shouldn't be mixing as far as i'm concerened

we had mince last night and it was fab

i'm going to get the mrs a bag of kidney beans to sirt about a bit tonight and tha's going to be great too

but then again, english food tends to be very bland in comparison

my mrs doesn't like kidney bean, so she puts baked beans in hers.

After she's served up mine first.

Asda kidney beans in chilli!!!!! What a great find!!!!!

I always use them.
Can't beat cooking up a good chilli.

Someone told me to put a couple of chunks of dark chocolate in too

For me I don't really care how it comes as long as it's chili!

I make it different nearly every time, I can never remember what I did before

Sometimes I make it from scratch, other times a packet and recently I tend to just pick up the Uncle Bens hot Chilli sauce, it's really not that bad. The medium version is shit though.

But I do prefer it served with some fridge cold sour cream on the side.

our local tesco has it. if you can't get any, let me know and i'll post you some

no, not for normal chili con carne. have them on the side for nachos, or put them in the mix for fajitas

as above

oregano - about 2 tsp

cumin - about 2 tsp

hot chili powder - about 4 tsp

cayenne pepper - about 2 tsp (i would have a lot more, but it irritates my girlfriends throat)

paprika - for sweet flavour and colour - about 2 tsp

i prefer to use all of the individual parts rather than a packet as i never have salt and packets and jars always taste far too salty to me

last night i actually used chili beans in sauce instead of plain kidney beans. they were about the same price and really good, so wll stick with the for the future

dark chocolate is good if you have it, and a little red wine never goes amiss either
