Chilli Con Carne Total Pro Points 51 - serves 8

Special request from my older son.

2 tablespoons oil (6 pro points)
2 onions - diced
2 cloves garlic - diced
1 red chilli - deseeded and diced (Optional)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
500gm mince (beef or chicken) (25 pro points)
2x tins baked beans (20 pro points)
2x tins chopped tomatoes
Heat oil in a large saucepan. Saute onions, garlic and chilli in oil for a few minutes until soft, add oregano and spices, and stir for 1 minutes. Add meat and stir until cooked through. Then add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until nice and thick.
Serve over corn chips with grated cheese, add sour cream, top with diced fresh tomato and avocado, or spoon over rice.


Add extra vegetables for extra goodness.
Grated courgette, diced capsicum, carrot, celery -  see what you have in the fridge.
