Could someone please reassure me about the chilli con carne I am making?

[TrinityRhino]

I love chilli con carne, I cheat and use a colmans sachet with beef mionce chopped toms, kidney beans and baked beans.

The last time I made it was about 4 weeks ago and that night I develoed a sickness bug. I know it was nothing to do with the chilli as dh and my friend ate it too with no ill effects and there was also no reason for the chilli to make us ill.

I have just decided to make chilli using quorn but it seems to easy and I am now prarmoid that I will do it unsafely. Do you reall just bung it in and cook it for 15 mins like it says on the pack.

I just took it out of the fridge opened the pack and bunged it into a saucepan with the other ingredients and put it on high. It heated up and is now simmering, is that ok or should I have fried it first??
Also can I reheat it later when dh comes home?????

yes

i have re heated it in the past if i used it a shephards pie type thingy

sulk i can not buy it here

hope you enjoy it

thanks cupcake
where are you that you can't buy it??

im in sensible austria

Anyone else want to reassure a complete emetophobe who doesn't use quorn very much

Can you really reheat it safely

pretty please

Yes - as long as when you reheat food you make sure that it's piping hot in the middle - keep stirring it to make sure.

thanks worthit

Hope you enjoy it!
