Lover of spicy flavors and low-cost recipes... This chili con carne recipe is for you.
This succulent stew made with minced meat, red beans and chili peppers is a convivial and traditional dish of Texas cuisine.
Yes, contrary to popular belief, chili con carne is not a Mexican dish.
But this cheap recipe always meets the same success when I prepare it. Watch:
- 500g minced meat
- 400 g canned red beans (let's make our life easier!)
- 1 small can of corn
- 1 large can of peeled tomatoes
- 2 onions
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder
- Salt, pepper
1. Peel the onions and garlic and chop them.
2. Drain the kidney beans, peeled tomatoes and corn.
3. In a casserole, heat the oil and brown the chopped onions and garlic.
4. Add the meat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
5. Stir in the chilli powder (be careful not to have your hand too heavy!), a little salt and pepper.
6. Pour in the red beans, tomatoes and corn. Mix everything well.
7. Simmer for at least 20 minutes and serve!
There you go, your chili con carne is ready to be tasted :-)
Simple, quick to make and economical.
This is a very easy recipe to make. Truth be told, she is unstoppable. You can only enjoy!
You can serve it as it is or with rice, grated cheese, fresh cream, Tabasco...
I sometimes add a little parsley or cilantro just before serving. It is then a festival of flavors.
I also sometimes put a few peppers in the recipe to bring color and have an even more complete dish.
And know that warmed up , it will only be better.
Besides, the more you heat it, the better it is.
So you can prepare your chili the day before. And that is very practical!
It's a great dish to make when there are a lot of people.
Because everyone likes it and it's not expensive.
This also allows everyone to travel thanks to easy exotic recipes.
