  Chili for any Occasion! Con Carne & Chili Con Queso   Chili * is a great big bowl of warmth and loveliness that can just tick every box, you can make it Veggie or Vegan, hide in lots of veg for picky eaters, and it makes a sharing snack or main meal with anything: Rice/Tacos/Nachos/Baked Spuds, even chips if you’re feeling filthy. This is the recipie for a great beef chilli ‘con carne’ (with meat), a great go-to to always have in your back pocket! …but b b b bonus round! At the bottom I’ve included the way I make Chili con Queso (with cheese) - a spicy, rich cheesy dip that is amazing as a table sharer with chips and salsas!
