Chilli Con Carne
This dish is very versatile, I usually make a big batch and freeze several meals worth. Ground beef recipes don’t come much easier than this, it can be served with rice, or as part of fajitas. I often have it with a garlic and coriander nan bread.

| 500g (16 oz) ground beef |
| 300ml (half pint)beef gravy (eg bisto) |
