  I think what would be really great was if you could select a range of recipes for the week and your website automatically compiles a shopping ingredient list that you could print off. Regards Mrs Connie Taylor

  One of the best, if not THE best chilli con carne I have tasted. Have made it time and time again and would definitely recommend trying it!

  I make this all the time and love it! I freeze the left overs and bring them in for lunch with a baked potato or with toast oddly enough! I use hot chilli powder instead of mild and I use 5 cloves of garlic instead of 3 (I love garlic!), I use 2 tablespoons of tomato puree instead of sundried tomatoes and I also only use 500kg of mince as 1kg would leave it much too dry!

  I add an andean twist to this by serving it with super grain Quinoa - more nutritious than rice and just as easy to cook.....oh and i hot it up with a couple of fresh chillies added with the peppers.

  I made this last night, it was warming and comforting on a cold night. It was also full of flavour and I'll certainly make it again!

  Lovely - a family favourite. Try it with mince lamb - better flavour.

  This was definitely the best chilli con carne I have ever made! I made it on Saturday night for a group of friends and I couldn't believe the number of compliments I received. I increased the garlic to 5 fat cloves and also used tomato puree instead of sundried tomatoes. This is going to be my regular chilli recipe!!

  Agree with everyone else- this is just lush. Didn't have chilli powder, so used jar chilli instead. Will never buy another packet chilli mix again!

  I made this chilli for my family and our friends last weekend. We all went caravanning and I made this just before we set off then warmed it up when we had set our caravans up. Very easy and simple and tea was already done when we needed it! Very very tasty too! Love it!

  I made this for a dinner party where the guests were well known to be "food conosiers" so was nervous to say the least..........I changed the recipe by putting in some mushrooms and added some tomato puree.....I only added 2 small cans of kidney beans....I left out the sundried tomatoes I served it with tortilla chips, soured cream, and tortilla wraps and a nice red shiraz.....Oh and some parmasan cheese......after the initial cooking on the hob I then put all the mix including the rest of the ingredients into my slow cooker and cooked for approx 3 hours whilst waiting for guests to arrive They were VERY impressed so that made a good evening for me......my guests even commented that they rarely get asked out to be cooked for as they said that ppl think they are too fussy!! All in all this recipe tasted fabulous and was very easy to do, and I had never done a chilli from scratch before

  This chilli is the best. My son loved it, but it tasted so much better the next day after chilling.

  Being veggie I made this with soy mince and it was really good, I usually find chilli recipes come out too bland but not this one.
