Slow Cooked Chilli Con Carne

This was the first time cooking chilli con carne in the slow cooker and I was apprehensive about putting raw mince in the slow cooker without browning it. But I did and it was lovely. What a huge time saver…throw everything in the slow cooker before you leave for work and it's ready when you get home. This serves 4 generous serves with rice.

Ingredients:

• 700g lean beef mince
• 2 tins kidney beans (liquid included)
• 2 tins diced tomato
• 1 sachet tomato paste
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 red chilli, finely chopped
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• 500ml water

Method:

1. Place all ingredients in the slow cooker, break up the mince, stir and turn on low
2. Cook on low for 6-8hrs
3. Serve with rice.
