Slow-cooked beef brisket comes in a chilli sauce, with beans and spices doing the rest of the work. Frozen and ready to heat, it's part of Co-op's premium range, which sits above the standard own-label meals. Expect a spoonable, saucy texture rather than a dry mince-style chilli, with brisket pieces replacing the usual ground beef. Shop it from frozen, then microwave or oven cook it until piping hot. The brisket breaks down into tender shreds during the slow cook, giving each spoonful more texture than a standard mince chilli can manage. Beans add bulk and earthiness, while the spice level sits at a medium heat, warm enough to register but not so fiery that it overwhelms the beef flavour underneath.
