thermomix chilli con carne recipe 1 After doing a little survey on my Facebook Page about what recipes my readers would love to see on here, there was an overwhelming response for just one thing………DINNERS!!

Having to cook dinners for the family every single night can be so boring, especially when you’re constantly trying to think of new things to cook.  Kids get bored too and if they’re anything like mine they are not backwards about coming forwards about it.

I’ve also been in a bit of a ‘dinner rut’ recently, so I’ve decided to try and make one (or two if I’m feeling energetic) new recipes every week and I promise to share it with you.

Tonight we are having Chilli Con Carne and it’s really yummy (as well as super easy to make). It freezers well too.

Notes
I would advice you halve the chilli if cooking this for children as it can be a little spicy. This recipe is freezable.

  1. I hear you Robyn, our 3 kidlets are always asking me ‘what’s for dinner’ and if I tell them something they don’t like the sound of they definitely let me know about it!
    Loving the looks of your chilli con carne, thanks for the dinner inspiration and thanks for linking up with our Fabulous Foodie Fridays Party! have a beautiful weekend x

    • Don’t you just love how willing they are to tell you when they don’t like something. Us mums have to have thick skin at dinner times, hahaha (oh and patience too) x

  2. How good is chilli con carne!
    So yum, full,of flavour I’ll do it with rice & serve corn chips on side and save any leftovers for a lunch for me and mum. We put it on a huge jacket baked potato… Yum.
    I love changing it up for dinner to, so easy to get into a rut with same same. The annoying thing is my youngest prefers the meat & 3 vege (or 2 veg really) where as the rest of us love a change up… Juggling everyone’s wants is not an easy feat for my hey.

  3. I’ve made this twice in two weeks now.
    It is so beautiful & a hit with everyone.
    The first time I served it with rice. The second time I served it over corn chips & made nacho’s.
    I’m looking forwards to trying alot more of your recipes 🙂

    • Oh yay that makes me so happy!! I’ve never thought of doing it with nacho’s – must try that next. Thanks xxx

      • Amazing recipe that I make all the time! Also save some and add to burritos. I’ve used it for nachos as well, but I make it ‘dryer’ for that so the chips don’t get soggy!

  4. We are vegetarian, do you suppose it would work without the mince and increased chickpeas and kidney beans?

  5. Made this tonight for our hungry mob.
    Went out to tractors for harvest tea in WA
    Served with handful of corn chips sour cream and avocado and broccoli
    Felt like a Mexican fiesta!!

  6. It’s a winner!! Two rice and curry hating boys loved this, I left out the chilli as even mild is too spicy for them! I didn’t have cumin so I substituted some ground coriander, paprika and caraway. Totally delish, thanks for sharing 🙂

  7. Great recipe! My 19 months old son loved it and this is the recipe that made me share your website with my Mothers Group!
    How just love your easy dinner recipes as I work 4 days a week so not much time for cooking! 🙂

    • Oh thanks SO much Lea, you’ve just made my day. That is such an old post too, I think I need to put together a new one, as I’m in the same boat as you and the easier we can make dinner times the better. Have a great day xx

  8. I make this about once a week in our house, for my 2 year old & husband & both devour it. I love that you can hide whatever veggies you have on hand (eg. zucchini, broccoli). It’s a always a winner & plates are always empty. Thanks so much for this recipe. 🙂

  9. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I made this tonight replacing kidney beans for a can of baked beans and instead of white rice made cauliflower rice so delicious and a big hit with the family. Will be adding into my book to make regularly. x

  10. Hi.. Looks awesome!! I’m going to try this tonight.. What can I substitute the veggie stock paste with, as I don’t have any on hand?

  11. Hi would this still be nice with chicken or turkey mince & would the cook time/temp differ at all please? I’ve made this with beef mince & it was much loved but I’d prefer to avoid red meat.

  12. So glad I found this recipe. Best tasting thermomix chilli con carne I have found. All 5 kids loved it. Thank you

  13. 😍😍😍 I did a small shake of Cinnamon instead of a teaspoon. Also left out the celery as I didn’t have any. We served with Sour Cream and Corn Chips. Amazing 😁

  14. Thanks, Robyn. Very good recipe indeed. I’m new to Thermomix, still exploring and very much enjoyed following your chilli recipe. I omitted the chick peas otherwise just as given and very delicious.

  15. I think this is my favourite thermomix recipe ever. I have one veg daughter and I just take some out at the step before adding the mince for her. We eat with rice, sour cream and coriander. Feeds us for two meals (me and five kids). Very economical!

  16. Delicious! Just made with turkey mince & left out kidney beans has had none! Made cauliflower ‘rice’ to go with it so good thanks!

  17. Tried this recipe tonight, I swoped the kidney beans for a tin of mixed red kidney/pinto and black beans and added a heaped teaspoon of organic cacao (chocolate) powder in with the chilli and other spices- adds real depth of flavour.

    Had ours on tacos 🌮 with sour cream, lettuce 🥬 and tomato.

    Superb

  18. who loves/needs extra heavy work to be reading papers that consistently refer to proprioception disorder, when I’m merely trying to learn about the usefulness of this type of physical activity. I know those papers are possibly referring to extreme cases, however it hurts to read that word in connection with your baby. Again, thank you! Thank you for this enlightening (intellectually and emotionally ) article.

  19. Found this recipe today. Cookidoo was down for maintenance and an internet search delivered this.
    This is great receipt, full of flavor.
    I shredded half a small bag of spinach, and added it towards end.
    Will bookmark this to make again!

  20. This was my first time making Chilli Con Carne, and it was bloody delicious!! Enjoyed by the whole family, even my 2 year old. Thank you for a great recipe. Will be keeping this one on regular rotation.

  21. Hi
    Are the chick peas and kidney beans supposed to be drained or does the liquid go in as well. Thank you

    Looks delicious!
