Chilli with Roasted Peppers

Having complete an enormous, Supermarket Sweep style shopping trip at the local supermarket on Sunday, we found ourselves with rather a lot of minced beef that was destined for a pot of chilli. Feeling a little delicate yesterday, Stephen and I stayed behind while the majority of the group went walking in the rain. Not wanting to leave them cold, wet and hungry when they returned, we set about the preparation.

I’m sure it’s obvious to most people but the sheer amount of time required to peel, chop, slice, brown and sautee all the requisite ingredients was staggering. Luckily for us, we both rather enjoy these activities so were more than happy to forego walking for cooking.

While we had managed to find most of the ingredients we normally use when making chilli, we didn’t have everything so we ended up with a slightly different version to that we have had in the past. It was still perfectly edible and pleasant though and, served with some roasted peppers and rice, it filled the stomachs of the hungry walkers rather well.
