I found this slow cooker chilli con carne recipe on the Olive magazine website when I'd been looking at other slow cooker recipes. I really enjoy chilli con carne and liked the idea of making it in the slow cooker. The ingredients list is interesting, especially the addition of dark chocolate, lager and Worcestershire sauce, along with plenty of herbs and spices!
The end result is a really delicious chilli - the mince soaks up all of the flavours of the ingredients, and browning it first gives you a really deep rich sauce.
Tips
- The original recipe also includes ingredients and instructions for making a jalapeño cheddar cornbread - I didn't make this as there's a cornbread recipe here on Felly Bull that's delicious - see the link below if you fancy trying it!
- This slow cooker chilli con carne recipe is easily reduced if you're cooking for less people.
- Leftovers can also be frozen in airtight containers. Defrost thoroughly and reheat in a pan on the hob or in a suitable dish in the microwave.
