I simply had to say thanks all over again. I’m not certain what I could possibly have worked on without the entire tactics discussed by you relating to that problem. It actually was a traumatic setting in my circumstances, but discovering this expert technique you handled that took me to leap for gladness. Extremely grateful for your guidance and as well , hope that you realize what a powerful job you’re doing educating people thru your webpage. I’m certain you’ve never met all of us.
Do you not need to reverse when you have the beef in ? Will the meat not get all shredded
Have only had my bellini for a week and made this for the family last night. It was amazing everyone loved it. What a awesome recipe!
Great flavour, highly recommended! I left the beans out and added some yoghurt – delicious!!!
Have just made this for dinner tonight. Not home when the first of the family sat down to eat. Recieved this in a text from the eldest son. “Dinner was awesome by the way”
Chilli con carne with red ‘cauliflower’ rice for dinner tonight… So very yummy.
I omitted the cinnamon (I don’t like cinnamon).
Even my 7 & 5 year olds went back for seconds…
Do yourself a favor – buy this book!
Thank you.
After making this version. Never going to make the mince begin again. It was fantastic. I’ve made out about for times now already. Though once I used chuck steak, don’t recommend that cut, by accident. Taste wad great but the meat was chewy. Stick to the recommended gravy beef and you can’t go wrong!
Worked a treat, the whole family loved it (I made it mild). I might shred the meat a little next time for personal preference. Can also be finished off in a casserole dish in the oven while you use your Thermomix for other dishes.

Loved it, so few ingredients and yet it is full of flavour!!!
Will definatly be making again. Thanks Nik for another amazing recipe.
Wow!! Delicious!! Super easy to make. Will definately be on the menu in our house again! Love it 😊
My family’s favourite recipe from ALTOM. Simple recipe, full of flavour, easy to adapt to LCHF for me and served in tacos, wraps or as nachos for the kids. Budget friendly and versatile being able to use beef or mince. It’s on our meal plan rotation. 10/10
Yummm! I was worried at first that the beef wouldn’t be tender but my gosh, it was and it was delicious! The whole fam loved it!
Buy the book!!! Just buy the book!! So good. Served with Mexican red rice – heaven.
I made this tonight for the first time and will definitely make again, this is a great, simple, easy recipe. The beef was tender and full of flavour.
This dish is so amazing! I put a little extra tomato paste & the flavour was so rich & smooth. Would definitely recommend buying the book just for this one recipe.
This is so good & like all of Nil’s recipes is simple & flavoursome. The family devoured it. Thanks Nik 🙂
Omg the book is a must get. I don’t do kidney beans and could have eaten way more
So good is the chile Con Carne and Red rice
Wow. So. Much. Flavour. We only added half the chilli powder as the toddler was supposed to eat it. That was fine as we use jalapeños.
Used it on simple tacos… Soft tortillas, sour cream, cheese, avo and tomato. I didn’t have beef stock so used chicken. No chipotle powder so used smoked paprika.
This was such a simple and delicious meal to make… Unfortunately my hubby and I managed to eat the entire full serving between us… Nom nom 😊
Don’t know if I got 6 serves. But I controlled myself *just*
Fabulous. Served with red rice. Even better the next day. Can see it being on height rotation
OMG!!!! This was the absolute BOMB!!!! I made this with the mexican red rice, guacamole and sour cream yum yum yum 🙂 Thanks Nik
Wow!! Delicious is an understatement, this is packed full of flavour, i had to keep going back for more, served with guacamole on top.. mm mm mmmmm
I grew up eating my mum’s version of this, this version is SO much better. Delicious, full of flavour and super easy. The compexity of flavours was amazing, this will be a regular meal from now on. Loved it!
I grew up eating mum’s version of this, would have to say I’ve never tasted Chilli Con Carne this good! Absolutely delicious and so much flavour packed into a very easy to follow recipe. This will be a regular go to meal. Loved it! Thanks again Nik.
I made this tonight and it was delicious! Even my chilli con carne hating partner loved it! I added more water after 40 mins, cooked for the entire duration and served on a mix of brown rice and chia seeds. So easy and delicious, thanks Nik!
WOW! used beef shin as we dont’ get “gravy beef” here in the UK – only used 500g of meat, upped the fluid volume after 45mins by just adding water – will be awesome with beef cheek as well – 7 generous portions!
Delicious! I went back for seconds and all the family finished their meal including a fussy three year old and a one year old with allergies. Served it with the red rice and there are lots of leftovers. This meal will be going into our regular meal plan.
Love love love this dish! Left out the chilli, still amazing.
Served with red rice and chilli con queso – heaven!
Made this last night…easy to do…it is spicy but I like it. Should cut my meat slightly bigger as some of it mushed up…makes plenty thanks
Delicious meal that is flavour packed. I found it low maintenance to prepare as well which is handy with a toddler. The meat was extremely tender, I used gravy beef and cooked for the full 60 minutes. Will be a regular at our house.
Love the smokiness of this recipe. It’s super delicious served over cauliflower rice and with a dollop of sour cream. Will be a keeper for my meal planner
can this be cooked in the slow cooker? Would it need less liquid? Not 100% sure that gravy beef would be tender after just 60 mins
I cooked it in the slow cooker last night! It was fabulous. Didn’t add any water at all. Just the dried stock.
Oh…and cooked it on low for most of the day.
Yummo! Just finished dinner and it was a real winner! Tasted very authentic, great flavors. Tonight we had the chilli con carne in tacos and they were definitely the best I’ve had!!! I have a Tefal Cuisine Companion and the only adjustment I made was to replace the UltraBlade with the stirring tool after I’d chopped the onions and garlic. Lots left over, maybe we’ll have it on a baked potato tomorrow night! Thanks Nik!!!
Absolutely DELICIOUS! Made it LCHF by omitting the kidney beans & using pork which was perfect in every way. Thanks!
