Chilli Con Carne

world - chili con carne

Ingredients    
  225g Onions
  2 cloves Garlic
  450g Minced Beef
  30g Sultanas
  2 level tsp Demerara Sugar
  1 tbs Tomato Puree
  115g Streaky Bacon
  1.5 tsp Oil
  450g Baked Beans
  1 Bay Leaf
  175ml Beef Stock
  2 level tbs Chili Powder

Method

Fry the finely chopped onions and then the shredded bacon.  Remove from the pan and then fry the mince until browned.

Return the onions to the pan and add all other ingredients.

Cover the pan and cook for 1 hour.

Adjust the seasoning, salt and pepper and more chili if liked.

Serve with rice or over Jacket Potatoes.

Red Kidney Beans can be used instead of baked beans.  After some time the baked beans tend to break down and produce a lovely thick sauce.  The strength of the chili can be moderated by eating bread and butter.
