Chilli Con Carne

Photo coming soon This is a classic mexican dish using spices, beef mince and rice.  However, as we make this as a family meal we usually delay the inclusion of the chilli powder until we have removed the children's portions, making this recipe very adaptable.
Ingredients
Oil
Chilli Powder
500g Minced beef
1 large onion
125ml of beef stock
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin kidney beans
1 tsp oregano
1 tbs tomato puree
Pepper
Preparation
Fry the onion for 5 minutes, then add the mince.  Cook this for 10 minutes ensuring it doesn't burn.
Add the other ingredients, aprat from the kidney beans.
Simmer for at least 15 minutes, then add the kidney beans 5 minutes before serving.
If adding chilli powder later then add 1 tsp now, after removing other portions and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Serve with rice.
If you want everyone to have chilli powder then it is best to add it at the start with the onion.  Vary how much you use depending on your preference.
