Ingredient
375 g McKenzie's Red Kidney Beans
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground chilli (or to taste)
600 gram beef mince
2 tablespoons tomato paste
400 gram tinned crushed tomatoes
1 green capiscum, finely diced
2 teaspoon McKenzie's Oregano Flakes
2 cups beef stock
To taste McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt
1 cup grated cheddar/tasty cheese
1/2 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons coriander leaves, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Prepare McKenzie's Red Kidney Beans by boiling in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in large pot, add onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, ground chilli and beef and cook, stirring until beef has changed colour and all lumps are broken up.
Step 3
Add tomato paste, tomatoes, capiscum, McKenzie's Oregano Flakes and stock and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally for approximately 1 hour.
Step 4
Stir in the beans and cook for 2 minutes or until heated through.
Step 5
Season to taste with McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt. Garnish with grated cheese, a dollop of sour cream and coriander leaves. Serve with steamed rice.
Step 6
Tips: Leftover chilli con carne makes a great topping for baked potatoes and can also be used as a filling for tacos, adding shredded lettuce, diced tomato and grated cheese.
