Easy Chilli con Carne

I’m sure there are tons of different Chilli con carne recipes out there. This is the easiest and quickest recipe I have made so far. A recipe that works for me and my family.
I like to prepare meals for my family so it saves us from ordering takeaway food which in the long run saves money and it’s far more healthier because I know what goes into our food.
I have always been conscious about what we eat. I was a gym rat for at least 10 years after my youngest (Miss E) was born. I wanted to have a female body builder body so I looked into being more conscious with what we ate. I did so many embarrassing poses in front of the mirror that I care to mention and I will spare you from seeing it, it’s too embarrassing. What I learned about myself is that eating food is far more stronger than my will to have a bodybuilder body. I managed to bulk up little by little but I never managed to cut down the fat. HAHA!
However, I learnt to prepare meals in advance and look at ingredients in a different way. Single ingredients are far better, fresh ingredients are tastier and for me no to “no fat” ingredients. I now prepare meals for my family because it makes our lives easier and I can guarantee that we have great lunch meals and some dinners too.
This is a fabulous Chilli con carne and I think you will enjoy this recipe too!
