How to Cook Winter's Evening Chilli con Carne
- Peel the onions, halve and slice them. Heat the oil in a large, deep pan or flame-proof casserole, and fry the onions gently for 8-10 minutes. Peel and chop the garlic and add it to the pan. Stir in the chilli powder, ground cumin and dried oregano and cook for 1 minute, then gradually add the mince (ground) beef, stirring well until browned. Stir in the tomatoes, add half a can of water, then crumble in the stock and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Deseed the peppers and cut into chunks. Stir these and the sundried tomatoes into the pan and cook for a further 30 minutes (stirring from time-to-time) until the peppers are tender. Drain the liquid from the kidney beans, stir them into the pan and cook for a further 5 minutes to make sure everything is hot.
- Serve with avocado and basmati rice or tortilla chips and a bowl of soured cream.

or a little bit of extra "woomph", use kidney beans in chilli sauce. The "woomph" is subtle rather than one that rips the back of your throat off.
Reviews of Winter's Evening Chilli con Carne
![]() We like our chillis hot so I doubled the spices in this recipe (using New Mexico Chili powder from Williams/Sonoma and it gave it just the right amount of heat with a touch of smoky flavor). Also used fire roasted bell peppers from a jar. Definitely will make this again and share with friends! kaelynK (2 reviews) |
![]() I have made this dish several times. I love this recipe and it's now my go to for chili. Everyone I have made this for raved about it. It's full of lovely flavors and textures. I will make it repeatedly. I prepared it exactly to the written recipe, as I do every single recipe I try for the first time. Pam_P (2 reviews) |
