A lovely recipe for a warming dish that can be cooked in the slow cooker...
- Prep Time 20 mins
- Cook Time 5 hrs
- Serves 4
- Difficulty Level Easy
Preparation
- Total Time 5 hrs 20 mins
- Preparation Time 20 mins
- Cooking Time 5 hrs
- 900g beef mince
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- garlic (2x cloves), chopped
- 400g tomato soup (1x can)
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 410g kidney beans (1x tin), drained
- 1 beef stock cube
- 1 tsp hot chilli powder (optional)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 100ml boiling water
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tbsp beef gravy granules (to thicken - optional)
- 4 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- sour cream (to serve)
- flour tortillas (to serve)
- In a large frying pan, add the mince, with no oil and cook until it crisps slightly
- You may have to do this in two batches
- Tip the mince into the slow cooker and turn on to LOW heat
- Add the onion, garlic, soup, paprika, beans, stock cube, chilli powder, cumin and season the mix well
- Add enough boiling water to come up to halfway up the mixture
- This allows for the fact that there will be a lot of moisture coming out of the beef and the onion
- Place the lid on top and cook for 4-5 hours on LOW or 2-3 hours on HIGH, or until the meat is tender
- Once cooked, remove the lid and stir - if the sauce is a little thin, then stir in the gravy granules and heat on HIGH for a few minutes to thicken the chilli
- Stir in the parsley and serve straight from the pot with sour cream and tortillas

I make a massive batch of this every month or so and freeze individual portions - really handy for quick midweek dinners.

First time I ever used the slow cooker to cook chilli for myself and my two children. I have to say this recipe is one of the best chilli con carne I have ever had. Even my children loved it. I was dubious about using tomato soup instead of tomatoes but it worked out well and tastes delicious. Such a nice meal, I did use a little more liquid as I'm using a 8 litre slow cooker but the consistency came out ok. I did add granules for colour and beefy taste and to slightly thicken it. Three of us ate the whole lot it was that good. I added a little more chilli powder because I like things with bite, but the one spoon would suffice if you can't handle it lol. Cooked with plain rice, it was luvvly jubbly. Thank you for the recipe and any more easy to prepare family meals in the slow cooker would be appreciated as I'm a total Newby at it at the moment.
