Ingredients

500g lean mince
1 large onion (sliced)
2 large carrots
3 peppers (sliced into thin strips)
1 tsp chilli flakes (or to taste)
Garlic (to taste)
Handful red lentils (no need to soak)
Handful green lentils (no need to soak)
Couple of glugs of worcestershire sauce
1 tin red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
2 tins chopped tomatoes
A little water or red wine

Handy Hint

This is easily turned into veggie chilli by using quorn or similar and not using worcestershire sauce, but a little marmire instead.

Method

1. Cook off the mince (to prevent lumps) and put to one side in a dish
2. Use the same pan to cook off the chilli and onions. After a few minutes add the peppers and then the garlic
3. Line the bottom of the slow cooker with the finely chopped carrots
4. Add the onions and peppers mixture on top
5. Then layer the mince on top
6. Scatter both lentils on top of the mince
7. Add the worcestershire sauce
8. Layer the red kidney beans on top
9. Spread the chopped tomatoes on top and top up with a little water or red wine
10. Cook on low for 5-10 hours, checking that it isn't drying out towards the end of cooking.
