I\u2019ve never made a chilli in the slow cooker before, but have a good standard recipe I\u2019ve always used that a colleague passed on several years ago. It\u2019s delicious and can cetainly be prepped ahead of time.
Pop an onion, courgette and red pepper into a food processor and blitz until they\u2019re finely chopped. Keep in a sealed tub or zipped freezer bag until the morning you intend to cook it. This was another recipe that I also used the food grinder for and again, it worked well. Since I knew I was going to slow cook it, I chose a cheaper cut of meat, braising steak, that was prechopped into chunks, and fed it through the grinder. Don\u2019t forget to check the date on the meat so it\u2019s still in date on the night you need it!

On the day you\u2019re making this meal, pop the meat and chopped vegetables into the slow cooker. (If you have time, fry off the mince and brown it first \u2013 if not, don\u2019t worry!) Add a drained and rinsed can of kidney beans, a tin of chopped tomatoes and some chilli powder to taste. Give it all a good mix around and check the liquid covers the ingredients. If it doesn\u2019t, tip in just enough water to cover them. As it\u2019s slow cooked the usual \u2018lid-off\u2019 reduction won\u2019t happen as it\u2019ll be covered, so you don\u2019t want too much liquid. Turn onto low for the day and leave for at least 5 hours. If it is still too runny at the end, transfer the crock pot to the hob if it\u2019s allowed, and bubble on high until it has reduced.
Serve with soft tortillas, soured cream and grated cheese.<\/div>\n<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
