I cannot lie, I love spicy food and this is one of my favourite recipes. Nothing beats the taste of cumin and ground coriander with that distinct background note of heat. This easy chili con carne is perfect for large crowds, simply place a large bowl of it on the table with garnish and some flour tortillas and everyone can help themselves. Talking about parties, this would be great as a main for Cinco de Mayo along with a moreish margarita.
This easy chili con carne recipe is a set and forget recipe that has very few ingredients with the flavour getting better the longer it cooks. I use my instant pot on the slow cooker setting and let it go all day and it works an absolute treat.
I remember when I was younger my Aunt made this a Sunday lunch staple when we went around. It sure was a treat. It was normally served with rice then but this can simply be served as is with the garnishes of your choice and some flour tortillas for dunking. I do still like mine served with rice though.
Talking garnish I like topping my easy chili con carne with sour cream, sharp cheddar and coriander. Deep fried tortilla strips would also be amazing!
