Product Information

This one-pot chilli with polenta cobbler crust recipe should be your go-to comfort food recipe in the winter. On the hob – place the chili mix into a saucepan and set on medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for at least 5-7 minutes. Stir regularly to help it stop burning from the bottom of the pan. This works well for reheating several portions at a time.

What To Serve With Chili Con Carne Chilli con carne is traditionally made with minced beef, but hey, why not mix up the rules a little bit? If you prefer white meat, there’s no reason why you can’t use turkey mince instead. If you fancy something a little more tender, try chopping up some steak which adds a richer flavour to the dish.
