Chilli Con Carne

1. Heat the olive oil in a casserole, or saucepan.
2. Cook the meat until it changes colour, add the onion and garlic and stir around for a minute.
3. Add the tinned tomatoes, chopped chillies, peppers, and a good pinch of salt.
4. Cover with a lid, bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 hour or until the meat is cooked (it should be nice and tender).
5. By the end of cooking, the liquid should have reduced to a thick sauce; if it gets too dry though during cooking just add a little more water.
6. You can also put this into an oven at 150c(300f).
7. Finally, add the cumin, kidney beans (and a little of the bean liquid, if you like) and brown sugar.
8. Simmer for a further 10 mins.
9. Serve with rice,a spoonful of sour cream,some grated cheddar, maybe a taco and some coriander leaves sprinkled on top!
10. Great too with tomato salsa and guacamole, and if some of your friends like a bit more heat , serve the Hot Chilli Sauce too !
