I can't believe I've never had chilli con carne before. It means 'chilli with meat' apparently. I always wanted to cook it but never got around to it until now. Perfect comfort food for those lazy Sundays! It was well received by the family so I'd say it was a success.
Usually I tend to not plan too much ahead, which lead to last minute ingredient shopping. Thankfully there was a last tray of mince left at woolies. Red capsicum was out of stock so I opted for a green sweet chilli (never really liked the taste capsicum anyway).
Firstly dice up onions and chop chilli (or capsicum) and garlic. That's pretty much all the prep involved.
Heat oil for a minute until hot, then add onions. Continue to cook around 5 minutes until the onion is slightly soft.
