Chilli Con Carne & Rice

What is it?

Beef chilli con carne with rice, sold as a frozen meal to cook from frozen. It combines seasoned beef mince, rice, tomato, beans and chilli in one compartmentalised tray, so the grains and sauce heat together in the oven or microwave. Compared with other Waitrose frozen meals, it sits on the straightforward, one-bowl end of the range rather than the more layered pasta or curry dishes. The sauce is usually thick enough to cling to the rice, with the beef and beans giving most of the texture.
