Chilli Con Carne with Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 500g beef mince
• 1 packet Maggi Chilli Con Carne Recipe Mix
• 1 can Wattie's Mild Chilli Beans
• 1 can Wattie's Mexican Style Tomatoes 400g
• 1kg Fortune Medium Grain Rice (use 1½ cups uncooked)
• 1 brown onion, finely diced
• 1 red capsicum, diced
• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
• Anchor Sour Cream, to serve
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• ½ cup water (or as directed on the Maggi packet)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the rice - Rinse 1½ cups of Fortune Medium Grain Rice under cold water. Cook according to the packet instructions or using your usual rice cooker method. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and keep warm while you prepare the chilli.
2. Prepare the vegetables - Finely dice the brown onion and red capsicum, then peel and mince 2–3 cloves of garlic.
3. Cook the beef mince - Heat the oil in a large frying pan or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and capsicum and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. Add the beef mince and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through.
5. Add the flavour - Sprinkle over the Maggi Chilli Con Carne Recipe Mix and stir to coat the mince. Add the Wattie's Mexican Style Tomatoes, Wattie's Mild Chilli Beans and water as directed on the seasoning packet. Mix everything together until well combined.
6. Let it simmer - Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavours have developed. Add a splash of water if the chilli becomes too thick. Taste and season if needed.
7. Serve and enjoy! Divide the fluffy rice between five bowls and spoon the warm chilli con carne generously over the top. Finish with a dollop of Anchor Sour Cream for a deliciously creamy finish.
