Questions about Chili con carne with beans
How long should you simmer chilli con carne with beans?
Once the mince is browned and the tomatoes and beans are in, simmer it gently for about 30–45 minutes, stirring now and then so it does not catch. Add a splash of water if it becomes thicker than you want.
Can you make chilli con carne with tinned beans?
Yes. Drain and rinse kidney beans, then stir them in for the final 10–15 minutes of simmering; they are already cooked, so prolonged cooking can make them collapse.
How do you make chilli con carne less spicy?
Stir in a little extra chopped tomato or stock and simmer briefly to mellow the heat. Serve it with plain yoghurt or soured cream, which cools each mouthful better than adding more sugar.
Can you freeze chilli con carne with beans?
Yes: cool it promptly, divide it into shallow airtight containers and freeze. Defrost it in the fridge, then reheat until steaming hot throughout, stirring so the centre heats evenly.
What should you serve with chilli con carne?
Rice is a classic accompaniment; baked potatoes, tortilla chips or warm tortillas also work well. Top with chopped coriander, spring onions, grated cheese or a spoonful of soured cream.
What can you use instead of beef in chilli con carne?
Use turkey or pork mince, or replace the meat with extra beans, lentils or crumbled tofu. Brown mince or tofu first, and simmer lentils until tender before adding them to the sauce.
How much chilli con carne is a typical portion?
A typical portion is about 240 g, roughly a generous serving bowl. That amount provides 259 kcal and 14 g of protein.
