@@bmc9504 i live in mexico. I have NEVER ever ever saw chili con carne in regular mexican restaurant. Only in american restaurant and of course TEXMEX restaurant. Thats why i say that. So american chili over there and british chili over there. :) cheers keep up !
@@vincentguerault6751 I live in Denmark, and a friend of mine, Mexican, gave me, many years ago, the recipe of chilli con carne ( it can be that they call it just chilli, I only rode the recipe, not the name of the dish)from his mother. It si very different from this one but there are similarities. Like the chocolate (just another kind, with no sugar, but you can use cocoa instead), beans, which are to kinds, hard to find in Europe, but not impossible, and the meat is pork meat, not minced but chuncks. The spices are also a bit different. It taste very different than any other recipe I tried. Until now I didn't find an "official statement" to help me find out what is the truth about chilli con carne. So, as long as my friends mother has a recipe like this, makes me believe that mexicans make this dish in their homes. More than that. My friend told me, that even in Mexico there are different recipes, because he have tried this dish home at relatives or friends, different places in the country and it was a bit different. But not that much that resembles those we know from internet/youtube. So........who knows............... 🤔
Just a quick tip, when browning off beef mince (or any meat for that matter) get the pan hot, then add olive oil and then add the protein. It will give that nice brown/golden colour (not grey) and it will not overcook the meat. Cheers
For a while now, I have been looking for the British version of the chili con carne so I would enjoy eating the British chili con carne again and again, like I used to love eating it in pubs in England during the winter months. And now I found it…. Made it last night and it is excellent, exactly the same taste as the Chili con carne (with rice) that I used to eat in the pubs. It brought so much memories…gathering around a fire in a pub with friends eating chili con carne. Thank you so very much for making this video, you made one very happy lady here.
I’m new to this cooking malarkey and chose your easy to follow recipe and I’m glad I did. It’s turned out loads better than I imagined and will definitely be following and trying some of your other recipes. I love your easy going enthusiastic approach mate. Top man so you are 👌
Adam brother, most people don't take the time to brown the mince first. One of the key things I like about your dishes is you take the time to build up levels of flavor. This look scrummy, Cheers mate
+Mr_Krasker I once got into a bad argument with an ex girlfriend because she didn't think it was necessary to brown meat when making any kind of stew haha. Thanks for commenting as always mate ☺
I saw this video like a year ago and I now realised this is where I learned how to cut my pepper I’ve been cutting them like this for the past year It’s very easy and nothing goes to waste 😄
As a Texan from San Antonio I’m glad to hear that it was acknowledged that “chili” is from Mexico. Mexico was a very large country at one point that spanned all across the lower US as we know it today. I subscribe to your channel just on that comment. It really shows that you do your homework on your videos.
Why would you as a guy from San Antonio be glad to hear that Chili is from Mexico when it isn't? It's not a Mexican dish, Chili Con Carne originated in San Antonio in the US. There were many chili pepper based stews at the time leading to it's creation in Mexico but this is not to be confused with Chili Con Carne. The Spanish implemented the addition of meat in the dish but again was a chili pepper stew with meat as it had the missing ingredient of Tomatoes. Chili Con Carne in the form recognised as Chili con Carne was created in San Antonio, therefore is an American dish, not Mexican. It's pretty crazy that you think otherwise.
I've been cooking chilli con carne with following this recipe for years. I found it to be the best one that really suits my taste. Wanted to say thank you for sharing.
Made this a couple of times using chilli flakes instead of fresh chillies and it tastes great. Today I’m trying it with fresh chillies to see if there’s a big difference. Great video, thank you.
I've cooked this recipe for the first time about a year ago. It became a staple in my family and taught me a lot about cooking. Fantastic job, Adam! And I'm delighted to see that you haven't dropped the ball with this channel! I swapped the chocolate for 1 tsp of cocoa powder and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Works just as well and you can regulate that extra sweetness. One thing to note: cocoa powder needs more time so add it 5-7 minutes before beans.
This is awesome Yury! Yes I remember you joining the channel. I'm actually working on a new and improved version of this so watch this space. Glad you like it!
I often find that if you find a recipe that works, playing around with it to make it better sometimes you lose what made it fabulous in the first place. I've done that, and ended up using my original recipe, which everyone loved. Just saying! X
Thanks. This is now my default chilli recipe. I’ve done it several times now and it always tastes great. Great tip about browning and removing the mince and then sautéing the veg with the spices. So much more flavour than how I used to do it - brown the mince, then chuck everything else in on top .
Mimi A ..... I always scroll through the comments to find someone whose actually made the recipe, to see what they thought. Glad I came across your comment of approval, because I’ve just grabbed the ingredients to make this tonight. ❤️ It sounds delicious. I’m eager to see what the chocolate does 😋
@@janeababe I tried this recipe and it was delicious. It was just the right heat for me, did not burn the tonsils out ha ha. The chocolate was a treat, it made it glossier and some what sweeter. Not too sweet and you do not taste chocolate. My family loved it. Will definitely make again.
If you want perfection, then use a slow cooker. It makes even the cheapest mince taste better, you can also make a lot more for storage which makes it even cheaper to cook. It works out to be less than 50p per portion.
Just made this for dinner and had it in a burrito and I can say right now this is one of the best things I have ever eaten, cheers for the recipe and adding a little dark chocolate was what really brought this meal together.
Best recipe ever! Its my go to chilli recipe and everyone in the family always enjoy it. I could easily eat the whole pot with rice! Love Love Love it! My boyfriend always begs me to make it. I just add a little corn from time to time for extra sweetness.
Making this right now with my SO - so far so good. I have the chili gene in spades and he doesn't. Remarkably similar to Marco's recipe without the brand name stock pots but more practical for the average punter's larder. I find crushing the garlic cloves with a heavy hand on the flat blade of the knife makes it easier to peel and chop them finely; and slicing around the top of the bell pepper allows you to pull the middle with the seeds out in one go. When it comes to the chillies I cut the top off and roll them to squeeze the seeds out. If you want a job done efficiently find a lazy person to do it, and that's me. Thanks for posting your recipe.
@@Adam_Garratt It turned out delish, thanks! The consistency was great too. We've decided we can add a bit more chili next time - I have no concept of 'too hot' and don't want to make something he can't eat, so the team effort worked well for us.
thank you for this. my dad is the king of making chilli and i'm making one for my whole family tonight and i've been feeling the pressure. fingers crossed i can manage
You explain why you do what you do - where as others just give "orders". The chocolate - I have never heard of that. You are indeed my favourite Internet cook 😍
Great recipe, great video. Thank you for not spending 20 minutes talking about your childhood or how you came about this recipe through some awe-inspiring travel experience. I'll be sure to check out your other videos. I like your style.
Excellent recipe and great video! I tried the chilli with and without chocolate and the chocolate really adds a necessary sweetness and depth of flavour to it. I also added some red wine to mine right at the end to add a bit more acidity and to cut through the rich taste. Thanks!
Love the tips you give and also reasons behind why you do certain aspects or why you add certain ingredients. I always just use the Taco seasoning sachets for chili con carne but I'm gonna give this recipe a crack very soon. Thanks! Oh and love the camera work and music, it works great!
Hey man ive been using this recipe for a while now. I just wanted to say its so delicious. You seem like such a kindhearted person, and i also like how british you are. Thank you for the recipe.

@@MeliodasssESO just add a small bottle of red wine once the beef has cooked. Let the wine cook off then add stock and allow that to cook until the juice has disappeared.
From a really lazy guy like myself who can’t cook ,after watching this excellent clip...straight to the shops in morning get frying pan! No more beans on toast anymore😃 Thanks for explaining in an easy to understand manner to a novice like me👍
Tom Melvin For really good chili, you need a heavy pot. Invest in a nice, heavy cast iron dutch oven for making chili as well as soups and stews. Take a paper towel and coat the new cast iron pot and lid inside and out with corn oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil, olive oil or oil of your choice and put it in the oven upside down at 350 degrees for one hour. Place a pan under it so any oil that drips out will not fall into the oven. This will season the cast iron so it'll be non stick and won't rust. The things you can make in it is unlimited. I use mine for chili, for baking bread and english muffins, beef stew, chicen soup and so on.
@@mangler5004 I forgot to mention not to wash cast iron with soap because it can absorb the soap flavor. A really well seasoned cast iron cook pot or skillet will wipe clean with a paper towel and things like eggs and cheese won't stick. Seasoning is a lifelong process and should be done at least a couple of times a year. If cooking a lot of tomato dishes in it, it should be seasoned more often. Also, things with sugar in them like honey cured ham or maple smoked bacon can gunk up cast iron. If you have to use soap, use very little and rinse immediately. Best option it to keep it seasoned and use wooden spatulas and spoons to keep from scraping the seasoning off.
Hola Adam! Im mexican , and actually there are no mexicans in mexico eating this, ( some dont even know what this is).... butt!!!!!! This recipes its amazing!!!! Looks tasty!!! Good job!!!!
Very good recipe it provides a grounding of the basic essential ingredients but leaves room for your own personal bits and pieces you as an individual likes to add such as some red wine. Well done and thanks for the advice my man
Thank you for the recipe! I made it last night and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so tasty! (the dark chocolate really does add something special) :)
Thank you! Comments like yours make me really happy to know that I have taught people something tangible and new. Have a great weekend and if you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer 🙂
Orbital Horizon Blue Ancho chilis are known for their rich, fruity flavor. Chilis are where the flavor comes from in a chili recipe. with some being fruity while others are smokey, some are earthy and some are just add heat. Using fresh or dried chilis will take any chili dish to a new level of flavor. I use mostly dried chilis to grind into powder or sometimes just reconstitute in water and blend them into a slurry to be added in place of powder, the best choice but more work. It's easier to clean and grind chilis into powder for storage and ease of use.
This is mega! I like that you cooked the mince first, then the veggies separately. Here's a tip. Bung in half a cinnamon stick, with the tomatoes. It adds another layer of flavour. 😉
I never taste Chili Con Carne till last 2 weeks when I travelled to England. I had Chili Con Carne at Holy Bush Restaurant, Salt. Now I have come back to Malaysia & want to learn up how to cook this. So I have to learn from you again Adam. Have a blessed Easter xx
I am doing a vegan version of this for dinner. I am using Textured Vegetable Protein (what you probably call soya mince on your side of the pond) in place of the meat. Good thinking on the chocolate. I am going to add some cocoa powder and sweetener to mine. The jacket potato is a great idea.
TeleTrans 1 Hey, there. In case you might be interested..., I've been experimenting w/ vegan chili, and I've found that steel-cut oats and buckwheat work well, too.
Just so you know, chili (which is what we call it in Texas) isn't a Mexican dish. It isn't even really texmex. Just Texas country cooking. Thanks for the video!
@@dennisstaughton7474 Ground meat is used all the time in Texas chili but Texas chili by definition is chili con carne.... not chili con carne y frijoles (chili with meat and beans). If it has beans, it's probably still delicious but it's not Texas chili. That's why we Texans point it out. It's kind of like when you add chocolate syrup to vanilla icecream and then blend it in. It's no longer vanilla. It's chocolate.
This is my new go-to recipe. I've made it several times now and my parents ask me to make it as they love it too! The dark chocolate is an interesting ingredient but it also adds something special.
@@Adam_Garratt I actually make a meat-free version myself, but I just swap the beef mince and beef stock for a veggie mince and stock. Thanks for the reply, I will!
Serranos are great for chili...about 3 times hotter than a jalapeno with a great flavor...it's a great "tweener" chili for those who want hot but no "holy shit...what was I thinking?" hot.
Apart from dark chocolate that is precisely I have cooked this meal. Enjoyed across 3 generations. Thanks for what for me is a revisit to a much loved family favourite cooked well. Wholeheartedly agree with serving suggestion: jacketed potato. Oh mamma!
Not sure how you can make chili without adding chili powder. I do not add any hot peppers to my chili. I like to add my heat when I eat it. I prefer to add hot sauce to taste in the bowl I'm eating. Each person can add the amount of heat they prefer. My wife does not like any hot sauce or hot peppers in her chili. My children only like a little heat. I prefer it smoking hot.
@@DP-jy2ge What chilis did he add besides 1 to 2 red chilis? Maybe I'm confused too. That's like making a gallon of sweet tea but only adding a teaspoon of sugar to sweeten the whole gallon.
Have to say watching how you showed your food, this as to be the winner on here .I have many but follow it’s simply the best looking one and so tasty 😋.I’m going by your recipe and I’m going to make a batch and then freeze . It’s amazing . I’m going to love it I know I will with Rice 👍🏻🙏🏻😊 Thank you.💙
Here in Alberta ( I'm sure it's done in other places) we pit the chili over either a roasted hotdogs, or it's cousin a "smokie", both in the bun, then some diced white onion and a bit of extra sharp cheddar. Pair with a cold lager, dinner is served!! Lol.. Great vid btw!!
A Malay, from Malaysia. Thanks for this recipe, i keep making it again and again. Goes well with baked potatoes, with shredded cheese and sour cheese on top.
Another dive into your back catalogue Adam....This simple chilli con carne, is several ticks above my previous efforts before finding your recipe/ tips..Thank you 👍👏👏👏

I use a slow cooker to cook mine and I only brown a little keeping a tad pink. Medium rare I guess. Makes it super tender.

I use mine for chili, for baking bread and english muffins, beef stew, chicen soup and so on.

I forgot to mention not to wash cast iron with soap because it can absorb the soap flavor. A really well seasoned cast iron cook pot or skillet will wipe clean with a paper towel and things like eggs and cheese won't stick. Seasoning is a lifelong process and should be done at least a couple of times a year. If cooking a lot of tomato dishes in it, it should be seasoned more often. Also, things with sugar in them like honey cured ham or maple smoked bacon can gunk up cast iron. If you have to use soap, use very little and rinse immediately. Best option it to keep it seasoned and use wooden spatulas and spoons to keep from scraping the seasoning off.
Hola Adam! Im mexican , and actually there are no mexicans in mexico eating this, ( some dont even know what this is).... butt!!!!!! This recipes its amazing!!!! Looks tasty!!! Good job!!!!
Ely Medina NAILS * he does say it’s not Mexican 😂
😯
Así es, yo como Carnita en salsa Roja 😅
Very good recipe it provides a grounding of the basic essential ingredients but leaves room for your own personal bits and pieces you as an individual likes to add such as some red wine. Well done and thanks for the advice my man
No problem James. Thanks for watching bud 🙂👍
tried this today, tasted great...… thanks
Thanks so much. First time I’m cooking chilli con carne and is delicious
Thank you for the recipe! I made it last night and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so tasty! (the dark chocolate really does add something special) :)
I love that your crystal clear and direct explanation of the way to cook teaches me a lot . Thank you
Thank you! Comments like yours make me really happy to know that I have taught people something tangible and new. Have a great weekend and if you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer 🙂
Great easy to follow no drama video - and the chilli was great thank you!
Awesome! That's great to hear Ryan. Glad you liked it bud 👍🙂
Can't wait to try this recipe!!
mmm that looks delicious thank you we are going to try &do that so simple yet so tasty
Great recipe. Masterfully explained. Thanks
I boarder line burn the mince to get the crispy steak flavour (Maynard James Keenen effect)
I will never stop eating this!
I made this for the first time tonight. I'm gonna use less Paprika next time but overall was great.
I’ll have to try it thank you
This is very good recipe. Me and the wife regularly have this
I smoke my own chillis in one of them small fish smokers with fragrant wood chips to make Ancho chillis ;)
Orbital Horizon Blue I am jealous! 😂🤪

Ancho chilis are known for their rich, fruity flavor. Chilis are where the flavor comes from in a chili recipe. with some being fruity while others are smokey, some are earthy and some are just add heat. Using fresh or dried chilis will take any chili dish to a new level of flavor. I use mostly dried chilis to grind into powder or sometimes just reconstitute in water and blend them into a slurry to be added in place of powder, the best choice but more work. It's easier to clean and grind chilis into powder for storage and ease of use.
This is mega! I like that you cooked the mince first, then the veggies separately. Here's a tip. Bung in half a cinnamon stick, with the tomatoes. It adds another layer of flavour. 😉
I ate the chocolate whilst i was cooking ooooooops
I never taste Chili Con Carne till last 2 weeks when I travelled to England. I had Chili Con Carne at Holy Bush Restaurant, Salt. Now I have come back to Malaysia & want to learn up how to cook this. So I have to learn from you again Adam. Have a blessed Easter xx
Aww thank you Aster, I hope you have a good Easter too! All the best 🙂💗
I am doing a vegan version of this for dinner. I am using Textured Vegetable Protein (what you probably call soya mince on your side of the pond) in place of the meat. Good thinking on the chocolate. I am going to add some cocoa powder and sweetener to mine. The jacket potato is a great idea.
+TeleTrans 1 let me know how it turns out bud☺
Adams Eats It turned out quite good.
Ah yes the traditional Kekistani vegan chilli con carne. Shadilay.
TeleTrans 1 Hey, there. In case you might be interested..., I've been experimenting w/ vegan chili, and I've found that steel-cut oats and buckwheat work well, too.
I'm not even close to vegan but once I used lentils and it was soooo good. If you pulse them in a food processor they get a really good consistency
We absolutely love this recipe, made it so many times . Thanks again From Mandy Northamptonshire, England.🤗❤️
Glad you enjoy it Mandy! I'm working on a slightly updated version of this so watch this space ❤️
Yummy!
+KeefCooks Cheers Keefy! ☺
Thank you Adam ,l tried this before and its easy and delicious that 's why I'm here again ,thank you ❤
i made this following your recipe it was ok but when i addded chili flakes it was tonnes better
Thank you Adam very much for all your delicious food , you are the best ❤🌹👍
Just so you know, chili (which is what we call it in Texas) isn't a Mexican dish. It isn't even really texmex. Just Texas country cooking. Thanks for the video!
GarrusN7 You left out the part where you rant about ground meat & beans NOT being allowed in chili, like every other Texan.
@@dennisstaughton7474
Ground meat is used all the time in Texas chili but Texas chili by definition is chili con carne.... not chili con carne y frijoles (chili with meat and beans). If it has beans, it's probably still delicious but it's not Texas chili. That's why we Texans point it out. It's kind of like when you add chocolate syrup to vanilla icecream and then blend it in. It's no longer vanilla. It's chocolate.
This is my new go-to recipe. I've made it several times now and my parents ask me to make it as they love it too! The dark chocolate is an interesting ingredient but it also adds something special.
That's awesome Mike! Glad to hear it. I actually plan on updating this recipe soon to make it even better so watch this space mate
@@Adam_Garratt I actually make a meat-free version myself, but I just swap the beef mince and beef stock for a veggie mince and stock. Thanks for the reply, I will!
i was going to do a chilli with my carolina reaper pods....but i shit out lol. Great video son😉
Ha! jesus that would have been seriously hot mate!
I will do this with some Tepins :)
Serranos are great for chili...about 3 times hotter than a jalapeno with a great flavor...it's a great "tweener" chili for those who want hot but no "holy shit...what was I thinking?" hot.
reaper chilli is lush I did one last week go for it
i use 3 , but holy crap it makes my hair wet
Apart from dark chocolate that is precisely I have cooked this meal. Enjoyed across 3 generations. Thanks for what for me is a revisit to a much loved family favourite cooked well. Wholeheartedly agree with serving suggestion: jacketed potato. Oh mamma!
Fab on a jacket spud and a bit of sour cream 😋🙏
Not sure how you can make chili without adding chili powder. I do not add any hot peppers to my chili.
I like to add my heat when I eat it. I prefer to add hot sauce to taste in the bowl I'm eating. Each person can add the amount of heat they prefer. My wife does not like any hot sauce or hot peppers in her chili. My children only like a little heat. I prefer it smoking hot.
wtf
i added chili flakes mmm firen
He added loads of chili. Are you confused?
Mannix
I agree. Chili powder is what makes chili, chili. Without it, it's just chunky tomato stew.
@@DP-jy2ge
What chilis did he add besides 1 to 2 red chilis? Maybe I'm confused too. That's like making a gallon of sweet tea but only adding a teaspoon of sugar to sweeten the whole gallon.
Fabulous Adam. I have never heard of the chocolate thing but i have now !
He added ..... chocolate.......
I know, how dare he! 😉🤣
Dark chocolate makes it... I thought my mum was the only one ha ha
Marco Pierre uses dark chocolate too. Wouldn't of believed myself till tried it. Really makes a difference .
This is the only way I cook chilli now, been using this recipe for about a year & my boys love it 🥰
Good to hear Kerry! X
Have to say watching how you showed your food, this as to be the winner on here .I have many but follow it’s simply the best looking one and so tasty 😋.I’m going by your recipe and I’m going to make a batch and then freeze . It’s amazing . I’m going to love it I know I will with Rice 👍🏻🙏🏻😊 Thank you.💙
Loved the video - good background music and very informative - thanks !!
You're welcome 😊
Here in Alberta ( I'm sure it's done in other places) we pit the chili over either a roasted hotdogs, or it's cousin a "smokie", both in the bun, then some diced white onion and a bit of extra sharp cheddar. Pair with a cold lager, dinner is served!! Lol.. Great vid btw!!
A Malay, from Malaysia. Thanks for this recipe, i keep making it again and again. Goes well with baked potatoes, with shredded cheese and sour cheese on top.
That's awesome Maddy! Glad you enjoy it 🙂
Clear....not fussy....perfect to follow...marvellous! Thanks xxx
