Tips and questions

Can I freeze chili con carne?: Yes, it freezes very well for up to 3 months. It also keeps 4 days in the fridge and tastes better the next day.
How do I make it less spicy?: Halve the chilli powder and add more sweet paprika for colour. If it’s already too hot, serve it with sour cream or grated cheese.
Can I make a vegetarian version?: Replace the beef with an extra can of beans plus lentils or textured soy, and use vegetable stock.
