Chilli con carne is actually an American Tex-Mex dish rather than a Mexican dish as is often thought, including by me up until …
When Pap doesn't need to add salt… is there any higher level to get to? You could make a rating system based on how much salt you added or didn't, with zero being the tops. Glad the superior chili outdid the bland rice! Thanks for this Pap!
with the rice, throw in a hand full of garden peas and warn saucepan, the chilli throw in a hand fu;ll of mixed veg, then divide in to 4 to go containers, one to go meal in to 4 meals
Shrinkflation, is evident in most food & drink products these days 😡
Have you seen a Mars bar or Marathon (never gonna be Snickers) recently?
Fun size springs to mind 🙄
Jokers
Omg another classic. "This rice will be as bland as my personal life" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah yes Pap, this works out as such much better value for money than a Stagg Chilli does, as not only is it a cheaper all round product but you get rice with the thing as well! Adding the cheese was also a nice touch, will have to get myself involved with this one at some point I think 👍
Probably took away 50g of beef 😂
Shrink flatiron on that 450 grams. Oh man I am surprised on the taste of the chili! I would have thought to through some cheese on that. That’s awesome. Thanks Papparoni. Hope you had a wonderful day 🙂
just had ASDA Chicken Curry with Egg Fried Rice ready meal . was bloody lovely . £ 3.00
Looks ok, Pappa.
Hopefully no green peppers
Nice one. Does look good value. Cheesy meat is so undervalued too 🙂 Mark.
As usual no heat but for a quid it’s a bargain even if they have sneakily reduced the pack size. Can always add chilli powder though and I’m loving the cheese idea too.
Gonna have to give one of these a go papps I love chilli but will pimp it up with extra heat and cheese is amazing with a good chilli and one pound is a total bargain 👍👍🌶🌶🧀🧀
I used to have this back in the early 2000s but they suddenly added baked beans and completely ruined it so I stopped getting it, but looks like they've sorted it out now so I'll give it a try again. Probably have to throw a load of pepper sauce over it though.
Having this for my tea in front of soaps later with a naan bread lol
Glad you enjoyed this one, my friend. I, too, love an oily edge. 🙂
I've no idea why they name it Chilli with Meat. They just call it Rice with Meat and be done with it.
think this one has always been 450g because all the others are still 500g and this is a great meal for the price
Love the bank loan and oven cook it Paps 🤣🤣🤣
Iceland have some great stuff going on, must try this, and sorry about your personal life,very funny,
£1 for a meal is a very good deal.
In plain rice I always add knorr aromat seasoning or kucharek vegetable seasoning. Both available at asda and are fantastic alternatives to plain salt. Great review as always papp 😆🤣
"As Bland As" your personal life may be Papp. We find everything you do entertaining 👍😀
I think you're on to a winner here with this Con Carne. For £1 it's a decent feed. Yes you're right about it being a Tex-Mex origin dish. Maybe it's a result of the Alamo. The truth is, Texans don't add beans to their chilli beef. It was the Mexicans who are responsible for the adding of beans, then of course the Texans claimed that too. Con Carne is not to be confused with 'Let'm Rip Boys' (Blazing Saddles) Cowboy Stew, which contains a copious amount of beans, but no chilli.
As I whistle 'Texas Rose' and remind myself of that reply to "Does my bum look big in this"?
As big As Texas!
I'll thank you Papp for another great review today.
Cheers 👍🤤😀
you cant beat that for a pound THANKS
Good afternoon, yes lovely meals, rarely available if I do, come across my favourite I'll get 2 x. Have a good day xxx add hot 🔥 sauce
Funnily enough just bought this, the chicken curry and the spag Bol at a quid each. To counter balance the saving I spunked a whole £3 on the new festive feast cathedral city cheese Toastie. 🤦🏻♂️
Had one of those last night, I pepped it up with a few drops of psycho juice. Really good.
cant fault that for a quid….
ironically, it's not a con
My ex used to love Mexican meat…she'd never let a Diego by !
Ghostbuster's Slimer on the spoon 😁. Good review Papps, looks decent.
Absolutely incredible value! That is a mere $1.79 AU. You would simply never even come close to discovering such a bargain in the ready-made meal section of any supermarket down here! I absolutely love the way that you say “trey” btw. It’s lovely. Très bien révision, John! 😊👌
A pound for 450g. Top value. Looks OK. You could add anything, as long as its not be…land.ha ha
Always ruin a chilli by putting them nasty beans in….There needs to be a beanless chilli put on the market and not just the tinned Hormel stuff that cost the earth here in blighty 😣….*rant over* 😁😝
Nice review papps
Can't go wrong. I love chilli con carne 😋I think that's really good for the price. I would probably add some reaper flakes halfway through heating it up to give it a nice kick. Great review Pappa 👍
Always keep a few of these in the frezzer. A bit of cheese grated over the top and jobs a good un 👌 👍
Two years later still low enough price that’s impressive would’ve thought it would be £1.80
