Chilli Con Carne

What is it?

Beef mince, kidney beans and rice come together in this frozen meal, with the sauce carrying tomato, onion, garlic and spices. It's built as a single-serve tray meal, so the rice sits alongside the chilli rather than mixed through it, which keeps the textures distinct after heating. The same composed format runs across much of the range, but here the focus is on a straightforward spiced beef dish. Ready from frozen, usually in the oven, the sauce is meant to coat the mince without turning it into a stew. Expect a mild to medium heat level, with cumin and paprika doing most of the heavy lifting on the spice side.
