Chilli con carne – My way

Every one makes their chilli differently so here’s mine!

Note – Serve with rice or plain nacho’s with melted cheese on top.

Dips – sweet chilli sauce mixed into Creme fresh.

I would suggest that you stay away from the powder flavoured nachos and go with the own brand type. Pick a decent farmhouse cheddar – one with a good bit of flavour!
