It’s a little cold out there these days and what better way to get cosy than a big bowl of delicious chilli con carne? Packed with protein, nutrients and, more importantly, lots of flavour. Chilli is the ultimate comfort dish that doesn’t have to overload on the calories. We’ve added an extra kick to our dish too by adding our tasty red chilli biltong – it goes super tender when cooked in dishes like this and provides an extra protein (and flavour) boost.

This chilli con carne recipe is perfect for a cold, wintery day for lunch or dinner or serve up to friends and family for a casual dinner party. This dish is easy to prep, easy to cook and disappears in seconds!
