Tested

"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"
