Quick Chilli Con Carne
with Basmati Rice and Cheddar Cheese
On the table in less than 25 minutes, this Quick Chilli Con Carne is quick but still full of flavour. Traditionally hailing from Mexico, this spicy stew contains beef, black beans and a punchy spice mix to bring the heat.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
