How To Make Chilli Con Carne When You're BROKE!

Описание: Chilli con carne is one of the best struggle meals going. It's easy to make packed full of vitamins and other good stuff, it's tasty and of course it's cheap as chips. I've re visited my old chilli con carne recipe, stripped it back a bit and made it budget friendly to help you combat this cost of living bullshittery. The secret to a good chilli con carne is building layers of flavour by browning the meat, cooking out the spices and reducing it down to a nice thick meaty sauce. No one wants a runny insipid chilli!

Some of the ingredients I already had, but I suggest going to your local store and buying a bunch of spices to store in your cupboard. Having the spices on hand is going to elevate your cooking and make your food a bit more exciting, so you can look forward to your food. Remember, food is a key component to improving your mental health, and we need all the pick me ups we can get right now.
