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.
