Let's Get Started
Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the meat until it browns – roughly 5-6 minutes. Add onion and garlic and stir for a minute before adding the tinned tomatoes, chillies, peppers, and a good pinch of salt.
Now all you need to do is cover the pan and simmer for about an hour, until the meat is tender and the liquid thickens. Add water is it begins to dry out.
Add the cumin, kidney beans (and a bit of bean juice)and the brown sugar. Simmer for 10 mins.
Allow to cool if you are making it in advance. Boil off enough rice for 6 portions.
Portion chilli and rice into 5/6 freezer friendly secure tubs and freeze.
When ready to eat remove from freezer in morning and let it thaw in a fridge or cooler bag. Heat in microwave at full power until piping hot throughout. Add grated cheese or a dollop of sour cream if possible.
Enjoy!
