andydurnin

any recipes for chili con carne ?

2smiggy

i just use

1kg of lean mince, browned
2 400g tins chopped tomatos
3 400g tins kidney beans
1 half pint of passata
2 onions
2 green peppers
1.5 table spoons chili power
1 table spoon paprika
half table spoon cumin
salt and pepper , add more later to season

combine and put on medium heat for 7 hours, or 5 hour for high, 9 hours for low heat.

I also add peas and carrots, as I like to eat it without rice, so use these to bulk it up, but that's not for everyone ! It turns out nice, and enough for 3 days eating, and 4 further frozen dinners !!

A dash of tabasco sauce goes nicely in there too. Sundried tomatoes also, any sort of beans, chick peas and sweetcorn - pretty much anything that might be in the cupboard at the time.

My first slow cooker, made pulled pork the other day and it turned out great. Simple enough appliance- I'd concur that you can't go wrong with this one.

What way did you do the pork? I find some of the recipes seem to suggest what appears to me to be a lot of liquid. :P

Made pulled pork twice using recipe from allrecipes site. Fling in ingredients - most taxing thing is peeling an onion! Easy peasy and absolutely delicious. If you only ever use slow cooker for this - well worth it at the price.!

What cut of pork do you use for it and are they easily available??
Find it hard to get suitable cuts in butchers these days as most butchers around Dublin nowadays only stock cuts such as chops ribs and pork belly which are conveniently cooked.

I bought a shoulder of pork in SuperValu (prepacked ones) for a fiver. Perfect !

The one in the OP has been out of stock for a good few days, but the red and white ones are reduced from €39.99 to €27.99.

Mine arrived today but appears to be DOA. Shame.

edit: Replaced the fuse and it's working now
