Here is how you make Chile con carne:

Dry fry onions and garlic in non-stick pan, then stir in minced beef and fry until brown. Stir in cayenne pepper, chili powder and oregano and cook for 1 min.Stir in stock, tomatoes, rinsed kidney beans, tomato puree and Worcestershire sauce, bring to boil and simmer 10 mins.Season to taste. Partly cover pan and simmer 20-60 mins, adding extra stock if necessary. I find 20 mins is plenty but it doesn't spoil if you leave it longer. If you like a really hot chilli (and I mean hot!) then double the quantities of spices.Serve with boiled rice. Serves 4.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SALLYOS.
