Making chili con carne for children can sometimes be a bit tricky to get right… You don’t want it to be too hot, you don,t want it to be too bland! In the famous words of Goldilocks… You want it to be “just right” . This chili is really robust and full of favour, with out the smallies gasping for  water… (If Mummy and Daddy are having some.. just add some extra dried chilli to give it a bit of a kick) Also a good tip, is to serve it with a dollop natural yogurt instead of sour cream…  Its not as tangy for the kids taste x
