Cheat's Chilli

This is a speedy supper that won't break the bank and thrifty too – it only takes 20 minutes!

Cheat's Chilli

650g minced beef or Quorn mince

glug of rapeseed oil

*½ tsp each of cumin, coriander

and cinnamon

*500g carton of passata

*1 can of red kidney beans

60ml sweet chilli sauce

l large onion, finely chopped

1 Knorr garlic flavour pot

*¼ tsp chilli powder

Only piece of kit required – a large frying pan.

Heat the rapeseed oil, add the onion and garlic and soften on a moderate heat for 2/3 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, cinnamon and chilli and cook to allow the spices to release their umph!

Add the minced beef and break up and mix thoroughly to ensure that the mince is browned. Add the passata and the sweet chilli sauce, mix again, finally add the beans – bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes stirring occasionally .

Variations

Add 50g of dark chocolate broken into small

pieces and drop into simmering chilli to enrich

Use spiced mixed beans instead of red

kidney beans

Add 150g of diced chorizo – (remember you can

get Plant Chorizo Puppies) (reduce the amount of minced

beef to 500g). Fry off the chorizo first until it begins

to crisp and set aside - the rapeseed oil is not necessary since

you're making use of the oil released from the chorizo – continue

with the recipe adding the onion, garlic and spices

as above, add the chorizo back when the mince is

browned

Add a topping of sour cream

Serve with bread of your choice or wraps or how about tacos?

Why not serve with a raw slaw!

If this doesn't disappear it'll be a miracle. If by some chance there are any leftovers, freeze portions in microwave boxes.

By the way those ingredients marked * are great store cupboard items!

OR … perhaps you'd prefer a Shepherd or a Cottage?
