  Excellent as a very quick and easy dinner. I also dont think that it would freeze so well.

  Amazing. Absolutely delicious, left out the celery and beans though did not think that they would go so well, was not the only person to think so either, my friends and my mum also said that they would at least leave out the celery. I would however strongly suggest adding a layer of Red Leicester on top of the yogurt topping and leave it to brown nicely on top. (End up using a lot of cheese in the end but absolutely worth it).

  Really lovely twist on chilli con carne. Family loved it, serves a substantial number of people accompanied with a salad.

  The actual chilli was really nice but did not like the topping, it was almost like scrambled egg on top which was quite an unusual combination. Next time i would just melt the cheese on top and leave out the yoghurt and the eggs. But I will use this recipe for my chilli next time.

  I made this for dinner last night and it's excellent. I didn't have any celery so I substituted a fennel globe and threw in a moderate handful of fennel seeds as well. I put in less chilli as I wasn't sure how it would harmonise with the fennel and I also didn't have any red kidney beans in the cupboard, so used Borlotti beans instead. Since I used prime, lean minced beef that I get from a local producer, I found I didn't need to drain excess fat as there wasn't any and I really wanted to retain all the flavour of the beef juices. I used mature cheddar instead of Red Leicester which I didn't have! It was delicious! I love the topping and thought it really complemented the dish. We'll certainly be eating this again and next time I'll organise myself to have all the ingredients in the ingredients list, and make the dish as described :-)

  This is a delicious recipe although I would say that it serves more like 6, unless the recipe means four people with huge capacity for food! I did not use celery as it is not available out here in Yemen, the leaves are but they throw away the stalk??? I also used mature cheddar, 2 garlic cloves and Greek Yoghurt made with my Easiyo yoghurt maker. All of my family like this and my student daughter makes it for her Uni friends. Haven't tried freezing it but it reheats well after being in the fridge.

  Very nice - think chilli/lasagne/moussaka. It definitely made more than for 4 people. Also, added some grated cheese on top. Would also work well with a bolognese sauce rather than chile, but it was a bit of a twist on the normal.

  This dish is very, very tasty. I do agree it serves more than 4, unless you have a husband with an appetite like mine! I added cheese on top which finishes it off perfectly. It's not too spicy either. An all round winner that I will be making a lot.

  Nicely done! Easy to make and very tasty. I added the garlic to the Chilli (using Chilli and Garlic from a jar) and skipped the topping recipe. Cheddar cheese on top does a great job. I also left out the celery. I mixed up the pasta using Fusilli, Shells and Farfalle (bow). I'll definately make this again!

  I used parmesan cheese in the topping mixture & sprinkled cheddar on the top. I used 1tsp of hot chilli powder in the mince mix. Very good. Perfect for a wintery day in Sydney!
