Baby's Chilli Con Carne



This recipe is great to make with leftover Spag Bol.

You will need:

1 white onion, diced
1 clove garlic finely cut
1 carrot
1 stick celery
1 small tray beef mince
1 tin plum tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 small tin of reduced sugar and salt baked beans
Olive oil
Rice
Natural yogurt or grated cheese to top 

If making from scratch:
Sweat onion, celery and carrots together with a splash of olive oil in pan until soft. Add garlic and fry for one minute. Then add the bell pepper and the mince and cook until browned. Add tin of tomatoes and break down with spoon. Add tomato purée and spices and leave to simmer on a low heat stirring at intervals until the liquid has reduced.

If using leftover spag bol, just add chilli powder, cumin, cinnamon, bell pepper and beans and simmer to infuse spices.

Boil rice as per packet instructions. Then plate up with sauce and top with natural yogurt or cheese!
