NO BROWNING necessary! Simply throw all the ingredients in and out comes a bubbling, delicious chilli a few hours later… Yes, it WORKS. And it’s so good and so easy. We all love an easy beef mince recipe, especially a classic Chilli Con Carne. This is the classic recipe but made as a Slow Cooker Chilli con Carne. It doesn’t need any browning of the meat, so it’s also a perfect dump bag recipe, which means you can stick all of the ingredients in a bag and freeze for another day’s slow cooking! Alternatively, cook a double batch and freeze another ready-to-go portion that you’ll just have to heat up.

Just wait until it’s totally cold and then put into a freezer-proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating in the microwave or oven. ⭐️ Using the best quality tinned tomatoes and tomato puree you can afford⭐️ Brown off the onions and mince before adding to the slow cooker⭐️ Adding 2 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce at the end of cooking⭐️ Stir every so often during cooking, this helps the meat to break up and cook evenly You can save yourself even more time in the morning for this recipe and prepare the ingredients for your slow cooker THE EVENING BEFORE! Simply throw everything for the initial cook into the slow cooker, pop the lid on, then store it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, put it into the slow cooker and don’t forget to switch ‘on’.
