RECIPE IDEA FOR YOUR TODDLER

CHILLE CON CARNE

This is a very mild version of Chille Con Carne suitable for your toddler and all of the family. My little boy absolutely loves it and the family does too!

You will need:

750g Lean Gourmet Mince
1 Onion
1 Clove Garlic
2 Teaspoons Sweet Paprika
1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
2 Teaspoons Ground Cumin
375ml Salt Reduced Beef Stock
400g Tinned Diced Tomatoes
125g Tomato Paste

Heat the Olive Oil in a large saucepan. Add the Onion and cook until soft. Stir through Garlic, Paprika, Cumin & Oregano until fragrant. Add the Beef and cook until just browned.

Reduce the heat to low, add the Beef Stock, Diced Tomatoes and Tomato Paste to the saucepan. Cover & simmer for 35-45 minutes, stirring frequently.

Stir in the Kidney Beans and simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.
