Try a making chilli hun. I did for the first time about 4 months ago and now my lot want one every week.

Its dead easy

Get a big pan, fry some onions, add a teaspoon of chilli powder, I add Garlic too, them sling the mince in, you can use any mince, my lot like turkey, then add a tin (open it first) of chopped tomatoes, I get the one with herbs and garlic in, and you can also add a jar of chilli sauce if you want.

And then let it simmer for about 40 mins.

You can add kidney beans about 10 mins before its ready.

I always plan to make it at the weekend and then serve it Mon or Tues but it never seems to make it that long lol

If you make a big pan you can always batch it up in the plastic tubs from the chinese and freeze it, then its great for a quick meal with a jacket potato.

God I sound like my mum !!!

That's freaky! I made one last night-so easy and now I have a yum lunch and I've pissed half the office off as mine's better than their sarnie!

Crikey that is freaky

Well if you have both made some surely one of you must have leftovers for little old me Chloe you are closer I might get away without even having to reheat it.

God I feel like Oliver Twist
