A good value healthy smoky chilli con carne recipe, perfect with boiled rice, or chips and salad. The smoky flavour really adds to the chilli, with lots of beans thrown in for the 'healthy eating' factor. Mix seasoning blend together and set aside. While it's heating, place a large Dutch oven directly on the grill grate.

Steps to make My Ultimate Smokey Chilli Con Carne:
  1. Add the vegetable oil to a large saucepan and heat over a medium heat. Once the oil is hot add in the chopped onions and fry for a few minutes then add in the meat. Stir and brown off. Add in all of the dried spices and herbs and stir to coat the meat evenly.
  2. Next add in the bell pepper and the mushrooms. Stir once more. Add in the cocoa powder, crumbled stock cube, tomato paste and season well with salt and pepper. Add the beans and stir everything together. Lower the heat.
  3. Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Add the dried chillies plus the scotch bonnet chilli. Just cut to top off the scotch bonnet to release the flavour from it as it simmers in the sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer for around an hour. Stir occasionally and if needed add a touch more water as the sauce thickens and reduces down.
  4. At the end of cooking once the meat and vegetables are tender and the sauce a rich glossy deep brown, add in the spinach leaves and allow them to wilt down. Serve up and garnish with cheese, quark or sour cream and parsley leaves. Enjoy! :)

Mix seasoning blend together and set aside. While it's heating, place a large Dutch oven directly on the grill grate. When the temperature has been reached, add the olive oil, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt. The best way to produce a rich and thick chilli con carne is to cook in a pot with lid in the oven. It also helps if you crumble the stock cube directly into the pot rather than dissolving in water first.
