Chilli Con Carne

I have been making more of a conscious effort to take the time to make decent home cooked meals lately. I tried this Chilli Con Carne recipe yesterday, and it was a great success! So of course I figured I would share it with you all…

Method:

1. Heat oil in a large frying pan; cook onion and garlic, stirring until onion softens. Add beef, cumin and chilli; cook, stirring, until browned. Transfer to 18-cup slow cooker. Stir in stock, paste, undrained tomatoes and oregano. Cook, covered, on low, 8 hours.

2. Add beans; cook, covered, on high, about 30 minutes or until hot. Season to taste.
