British chilli con carne | how to make chili con carne
Chille con carne is a 'not so classic' British recipe. By no means is this a classic Mexican mole chilli recipe. This is a British chilli con carne, and it's just as good. The key thing to a good chilli con carne, is a lot of little steps done well. By that I mean, you take some care with it. You can't just bung a load of frozen mince in a pan with some onion and chilli powder, and expect it to turn out magnificent, because it won't.

My recipe uses a little bit of dark chocolate. This does two things, it adds richness, but also sweetness, which is important for any mole style chilli. I also realise that we spell 'chilli' differently to you folks in the US who spell it 'chili' and that is fine of course, but I thought i'd mention it, just in case there was any confusion.

I like that you give not to much unnecessary info and don't act hysterically happy

For a while now, I have been looking for the British version of the chili con carne so I would enjoy eating the British chili con carne again and again, like I used to love eating it in pubs in England during the winter months. And now I found it…. Made it last night and it is excellent, exactly the same taste as the Chili con carne (with rice) that I used to eat in the pubs. It brought so much memories…gathering around a fire in a pub with friends eating chili con carne. Thank you so very much for making this video, you made one very happy lady here.

Just a quick tip, when browning off beef mince (or any meat for that matter) get the pan hot, then add olive oil and then add the protein. It will give that nice brown/golden colour (not grey) and it will not overcook the meat. Cheers

Made this a couple of times using chilli flakes instead of fresh chillies and it tastes great. Today I’m trying it with fresh chillies to see if there’s a big difference. Great video, thank you.

I’m new to this cooking malarkey and chose your easy to follow recipe and I’m glad I did. It’s turned out loads better than I imagined and will definitely be following and trying some of your other recipes. I love your easy going enthusiastic approach mate. Top man so you are 👌

[FinbarPatrickMcGrath]

Love this recipe. I add mushrooms too but then again I put mushrooms in everything I make.

[Kris_-yqxv]

Thank you. I have used this video to cook chilli con carne so many times already. And it's always the best.

[mrkrasker]

Adam brother, most people don't take the time to brown the mince first. One of the key things I like about your dishes is you take the time to build up levels of flavor. This look scrummy, Cheers mate

I've been cooking chilli con carne with following this recipe for years. I found it to be the best one that really suits my taste. Wanted to say thank you for sharing.

[tommurphy]

Thanks. This is now my default chilli recipe. I’ve done it several times now and it always tastes great. Great tip about browning and removing the mince and then sautéing the veg with the spices. So much more flavour than how I used to do it - brown the mince, then chuck everything else in on top .

I saw this video like a year ago and I now realised this is where I learned how to cut my pepper I’ve been cutting them like this for the past year It’s very easy and nothing goes to waste 😄

Love your recipes and lack of pretentiousness. Definitely trying this!

[sarganis]

I've cooked this recipe for the first time about a year ago. It became a staple in my family and taught me a lot about cooking.
Fantastic job, Adam! And I'm delighted to see that you haven't dropped the ball with this channel!

I swapped the chocolate for 1 tsp of cocoa powder and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Works just as well and you can regulate that extra sweetness. One thing to note: cocoa powder needs more time so add it 5-7 minutes before beans.

[catsneni]

We keep coming back to this recipe! It's delicious and makes a quick week night family dinner. Thank you and God bless you!

[petet]
