Dinner
Chilli Con Carne
Time: 1 hour
Serving Size: 6 - 8 people
This meal is the perfect comfort food and i often create a layered Nachos dish with this Chilli.
Who doesn’t love rich, slow cooked beef topped with guacamole, cheese and sour cream?
Actually Hubby isn’t a fan of this dish – but I still make it a few times a year!
