Chilli Con Carne - £0.55 a portion!


 


Here is my Chilli Con Carne recipe. 

I've added the cost of the items to show its super cheap to make and if you do a bulk version like I have done here you can easily freeze each portion so making it easy for you to have chilli any day of the week! This will make at least 10 portions for you!


Eat it with tortilla chips, rice,  sour cream. guacamole  or with some salad or just as it comes!
