Classic Chilli Con Carne Recipe
This classic chilli con carne recipe is a hearty and flavorful dish made with minced beef, kidney beans, black beans, bell peppers, and aromatic spices like cumin, paprika, and chili powder. After browning the beef and sautéing the vegetables, the dish simmers in a rich tomato and stock mixture for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to meld. Serve hot with rice, tortilla chips, or crusty bread, and garnish with fresh coriander, sour cream, or grated cheese for an extra touch.
