Leftover chilli

Making the most of leftovers, is the best way to make the most out of life. We had made a rather nice cottage pie for our crew, on the day of their departure which was the Sunday. When we make a meat sauce, we usually have some left over and this time was no exception. So we had some leftover meat sauce, so it was time to make leftover chilli.

Ingredients

  • Between 1/2lb to 2lb of meat sauce.
  • Onions
  • Peppers
  • Chilli flakes
  • Chilli powder
  • Tomatoes
  • Small tin of kidney beans washed
  • Oil
Recipe
 
Fry the onions, the chilli powder and the chilli flakes in the oil, until they are nice and soft, add the peppers and cook these with the onions for a few minutes before you add the pre cooked meat sauce and kidney beans. Once bubbling nicely, turn off the heat and add the tomatoes, then wrap the saucepan in a towel to keep warm.
 
When it is time to serve, warm up, tasting all the time and adding chilli and salt until you get a good balance of flavours on the tongue, then serve with rice.
