THM Chilli Con Carne

We are always eating Chilli Con Carne at our house. We serve it up in great quantities when family and friends come around to share a meal. It never fails to please. Serve it with 0% Greek yoghurt and seasonal green vegetables for Trim Healthy Mamas. For your children or guests, add sour cream and rice. If you want to change it into an S meal, leave out the beans and don’t eat the rice. You can then enjoy sour cream too. If you have not used Kangaroo mince before, please give it a go. It has less than 2% fat and is a perfect E meat and you can often find it marked down, making it a cheap protein source.
