Chilli Con Carne

[jarramackem]

Slow cooker chilli is a game changer!

Melts the mince

Did one in the slow cooker last week for the first time but wasn't keen on the texture of the mince when done. Prefer it with a bit chew.

Used the left overs in enchiladas last night mind and it was ok in them.

Depends how you’re doing it mate. If you’re going to get yourself to a decent shop and pick up some ancho chillies and chipotles it’s a delicious meal.

If all you’re doing is hoying beef mince, kidney beans and tinned tomatoes into a pan you’re a pure meff imo there mate.

There you go @Musicman

Hob could do with a tip of Hobbrite and a Stanley scraper.

Very hard to remove the baked on if let go.

Nice chili in fairness

Here's a question.
Do you wash your rice first or just hoy it in the pan and go for it

Hoy it in a plastic bowl cover with water and microwave for 14 minutes on full then wash afterwards with boiling water from the kettle.

You take it out the packet.

Interesting. Mrs K washes it after too, I don't mind washing it beforehand. Doesn't take too long and it gets rid of loads of starch and speeds up the cooking

I have always washed before as with lentils

Not sure I'd microwave it unless it was that packet rice stuff

Nor me either,

1 cup rice, 1 & 3/4 cups water, boil till water all gone, then remove from heat seal lid for 5 mins. Done

Kill the first born?

Kill the first born?

Interesting suggestion - but that still wouldn't bring his birthdate forward.

I always sit rice in cold water (up to 30 mins) while I do the prep and then rinse off.

It's what you're supposed to do... given time, I will but, midweek, it's a major delay.
