SW Chilli Con-Carne
This dish is my health Slimming friendly version of the classic Chilli Con-Carne (Chilli with meat). To make this dish much healthier we are using minced beef with a maximum 5% fat content and leaving out the cooking cooking oils.
If you are on a Slimming World weight loss programme, this is a great dish to add to your weekly list of evening meals. At only 1/4 syn per serving you can fill up on this type of foods and still look forward to a health weight loss.
Chilli con carne can be served with a variety of accompaniments such as boiled rice, Jacket potato or pasta, all of which are classed as free foods (within reason) if you are on a Slimming World style diet.

minutesIngredients:
500 g Lean minced beef (5% fat maximum)
1 medium onion (Diced)
2 Beef OXO cubes (crushed to a powder)
2 garlic cloves (Crushed or grated)
1 tbsp Chilli Powder
1tsp. Sweet paprika
1 tbsp. Tomato puree
1 tbsp. Corn flour (1 Syn per level tbsp.)
1 tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp. Cracked black pepper
1 Red pepper (diced)
1 Tin Chopped Tomatoes
1 Tin Kidney Beans
1/2 Litre Water
Method:
- Bring a large pot to a medium high heat, spray with One-Cal Spay Oil. Add the minced beef and diced onion stir to combine and start the cooking process.
Add the garlic and a pinch of salt to the pan to add flavour and help the mince to render it fats to aid the browning process. With a wooden spoon (or similar utensil) continue to stir and break up the mince as it starts to brown off evenly. - To really thicken up the mix (almost to a rue consistency), add the Chilli Powder, paprika, powdered OXO cubes, corn flour, Tomato puree, salt and cracked black pepper and stir through until all well combined.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, kidney beans, chopped red peppers and a little of the water and stir through to loosen off.
- Bring back to a boil, cover and reduce to a low simmer for 20 – 25 minutes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The corn flour and crushed/powdered OXO cubes with help to thicken the sauce so stir the pot regularly and add additional water if the mix becomes too thick. - Chilli con carne can be served with a variety of accompaniments such as boiled rice, Jacket potato or pasta, all of which are classed as free foods (within reason) if you are on a Slimming World style diet.
