Slow Cooker Mild Chilli Con Carne
This is a mild chilli so it's ideal for a family meal and is a great way to start introducing a bit of spice to kiddies. As it's all done in the slow cooker, there's no fuss and you cab be getting on with other things while it's cooking. We usually serve with rice and garlic bread.
