Easy Quorn Chilli Con Carne

Easy and nutritious, this Quorn Chilli Con Carne is ready in just 20 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights! I’ve kept the chilli level quite mild so it’s great for kids (and chilli wimps)…but feel free to add more if you like your chilli con carne HOT!

Easy Quorn Chilli Con Carne

As I’ve mentioned before, I am a big Quorn fan. It’s great when you want to rustle a up a quick, tasty and nutritious meal and it’s super convenient as you can cook it straight from frozen…I always keep a few bags of Quorn stashed in my freezer to I know I can have a Quorn Chilli, Quorn Bolognese or Quorn Stir Fry ready and on the table in under 30 minutes.

This chilli is not only packed with nutritious Quorn, which is high in protien and fibre and low in fat, but it is also packed with veggies – onions, carrots, peppers, baby corn, mushrooms, tomatoes and kidney beans…this meal on it’s own will take you a long way towards that 5 a day target!

Easy Quorn Chilli Con Carne

To keep this Easy Quorn Chilli Con Carne recipe family friendly (my kids LOVE it) I have made it quite mild, but if you like your chilli hotter, double the quantity of chilli flakes and / or chilli powder, or add extra chilli flakes at the end.

If don’t fancy Quorn, you could easily use beef mince in this recipe instead. Add the mince it to the frying pan after the carrots and onions have softened and fry until browned, then continue with the rest of the recipe.

Alternatively, omit the mince altogether and make this a beany chilli instead, using an extra tin of kidney beans or a tin of pinto or black beans.

If you have leftovers, this chilli is great the reheated the next day and served with baked potatoes and grated cheddar cheese on top.

Easy Quorn Chilli Con Carne

This  Easy Quorn Chilli Con Carne suits big heart wines such as a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon or Argentinian Malbec. Alternatively, if you prefer white a gutsy Sauvignon Blanc from the US or New Zealand would work well.
