Chilli con Carne is a meal-prep classic; it keeps so well in the fridge and makes for a super comforting and satisfying meal. I’ve used kangaroo mince for a leaner and more sustainable alternative; but beef, veal or turkey mince would also cook up beautifully. A traditional chilli con carne is also a lot meatier; I’ve added a big serving of capsicum and carrots to make this dish a little more nutrient dense.
This dish benefits from a long cooking time; if you have the time, make this in a slow-cooker for 3-4 hours to really allow the flavours to develop; otherwise 30 minutes simmering on the stove-top works perfectly well.
