What do you put into chilli?

[onzephyrstdayofchristmas]

Am making chilli tonight - has to be with a packet of powder unfortunately. I usually add tomato, kidney beans and chick peas... what else could I do with it to make it a bit different?

agree with the sugar - always helps!

spices, I do smoked paprika, ground cumin, chilli powder mainly.
Maybe some coriander seeds.

I guess for the kids dont add too much chilli at all. You can always add extra to the adult portions if need be.

lol @ milky white thighs.
tsk, you should be slip,slap,slopping.
Baby growing nicely, norks enormous and waistline vanished. I knew I shouldn't have told all and sundry that I was pregnant the minute the stick turned blue.

I put

Minced beef
Bacon
Tinned tomatoes (chopped and with garlic and herbs)
Chilli beans
Red and Green Peppers
Sweetcorn
Dried chilli seeds (only a few)

Then serve with rice,potato wedges,sour cream and warm refried beans.

mmmmmmmm Now I want chilli for dinner!!!
