Anna's Family Kitchen was inspired by my love of food and desire to feed my family healthy, home cooked wholesome meals that are beautifully presented and appealing but don’t require hours of prep in the kitchen.
No Frills Chilli Con Carne
This is my no frills kid friendly recipe. My favourite chilli recipe uses stewing steak and chorizo and regularly gets rolled out through the winter when I’m feeding a crowd. This simple chilli con carne recipe is my boys’ favourite and I always have a batch of it individually portioned in the freezer for quick dinners on busy evenings. It’s full of flavour but not too hot.
