🥘 Ingredients

Quorn Mince - you'll need 500g of frozen quorn mince.

Olive Oil - for frying.

Onion - 1 onion finely chopped (or use a red onion instead).

Garlic - 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped.

Red Pepper - deseeded and sliced into strips.

Spices - chilli powder, smoked paprika, cumin, ground coriander, and oregano.

Tin of Tomato Soup - gives the chilli a slight sweetness which my kids like. You can use a tin of chopped tomatoes or passata instead.

Tin of Kidney Beans in Chilli Sauce - or use a tin of kidney beans in water (drained).

Worcestershire Sauce (or vegetarian alternative) - adds a delicious savoury flavour to the dish.

🔪 How to make Quorn chilli

The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

One: Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion, garlic and red pepper strips for 4-5 minutes.

Two: Add the frozen Quorn mince and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes until defrosted, stirring often to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Three: Stir in the spices.

Four: Add the tomato soup (or chopped tomatoes / passata) and kidney beans in chilli sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.

Five: Serve with rice, grated cheese, sriracha chilli sauce (for those who like it hot), and chopped coriander.

🍴 Serving suggestions

Serve the Quorn chilli con carne with rice, tortilla chips, grated cheese, sour cream, salsa and chopped coriander.

Leftovers can be stirred through cheesy pasta and then baked in the oven for a Quorn chilli pasta bake.

📖 Variations

• Like things spicy? Use double the amount of chilli powder.
• Add another tin of kidney beans for extra protein (or chickpeas).
• Add more vegetables such as sliced mushrooms, an extra pepper, or baby spinach.
• Make it in the slow cooker. Just put all of the ingredients in your slow cooker basin, mix, and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6.

🥡 Storage

The Quorn chilli can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave until piping hot.

It can also be frozen for up to 3 months, so why not make a double batch and freeze half for another day?
