ditchman Posted Wednesday at 18:36 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 18:36 Chili-Con-Carni there mustbe at least 50 or 60 different recipes on the net for CCC.......all wanna be chefs trying to be clever.....you would believe the carp they put inthem this is the ingredient list for mine cheap fatty mince big chunked up onions plenty of chilli powder (it works as a thickner as wel) plenty of chilli flakes oxo cube tin of plumb tomatoes (dont use chopped tomatoes they are a different variety and are insipid..jusr chop them up in the can save half the plums for yer breakfast......plum toms have so much more taste than chopped tinned stuff) tin of beans at the last minit cook in the evening leave off the cooker all night until lunch time next day....and serve up with sweet chilli peppers....

marsh man Posted Wednesday at 19:11 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 19:11 My wife used to like C C C and to be honest some of it looked revolting , as a rough guide , the cheaper it was the worst it looked , this was all bought from super markets and she never made her own , I dare say as expected the Waitrose one looked the best but as I never tasted it I could not tell you what each make or brand did taste like . It all look very nice with plenty of colour but sadly I will have to pass on that one . MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted Wednesday at 19:35 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 19:35 That was the point of my remark 🫡😃 I probably do it differently every time 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted Wednesday at 20:18 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 20:18 with rice i prefer a bit more sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted Wednesday at 21:25 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 21:25 I always put a Scotch Bonnet with the Plum toms and blitz them in the food processer, then fry the beef at high temp till it "pops" in the pan just shy of burnt. Everything sauce wise goes in the slow cooker for 6-7 hours with the beef added at about 3 hours in then the beans about an hour before serving, so much better than the stuff you get in jars although ,tbh, Lidl do one (hot) for around a squid that's not half bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As dark chocolate was invented by the Mexicans, why wouldn't they add it to chilli con carne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili's and chocolate go very well together, chocolate in food tends to give it a smoother texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always describe it as "silkier", but smoother will do 👍 😆 It definitely changes its 'rawness' 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I wouldn't be using that for any sort of cooking,,,, totally the wrong type of chocolate 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
