Stagg Chilli

[Brighton TID]

...is the greatest chilli con carne in the world ever.

Unless you know better.

That is all.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Find the original quite bland, but enjoy the hot one on a jacket spud

2am Chilli

(Though I personally cut back on the chilli powder and cayenne because I'm a wuss)

I had a can of this last night funnily enough (Dynamite hot version - it isn't really, always have to add some chilli flakes). Usually lob in a load of chopped tomotoes as well, few mins in the microwave and tip on top of a pile of nacho chips and a bit of cheese on top. My lad likes it too. Top meal in a can

 

[HastingsSeagull]

The regular Stagg chilli is more minging than most own brands value ranges. The extra hot one or the veggie ones aren't too bad though

i have always stayed well clear of tinned meat food. Is it actually any good? ie quality and ingredients etc?

 

[s5.bha]

Poured on chips with melted cheese .........chilli cheese fries , American Classic !!!

 

[Stoichkov]

Yeah, I really like the Dynamite Hot one but as ozseagull mentions - do wonder about the quality of it! I try not to think too much about it...

I think it's pretty obvious the contents would be the cheapest and worst quality that they can get away with. You just will not get quality neat in a tin, but you can mask it with lots of chilli powder. Not for me

 

[smudge]

A regular in the staple diet of the single man. Baked spud, tin of chilli, job done.

isnt chilli con carne pretty easy to make from mostly fresh ingredients to start with?

sounds like the Frey Bentos of the tinned con carne world

I love chilli and I am sorely tempted by the cans, but there is a nagging feeling that the meat might not be up to scratch.

If your digestive system is working normally you should be having a very hot time on the toilet in 12 hours time..

I love Stagg Chili, and the meat is always pretty decent. But then again I have low standards....

The Stagg Silverado Beef Chilli is usually hot enough that you can't taste the "Beef " anyway.

The silverado one is almost heat-less ! Silverado beef is better quality though - 90-odd % fat free ground beef.

Yep, piece of pisss. Three essential ingredients for me are dried chapotle chillies, smoked paprika and cumin, that on top of the usuals: beef, kidney beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic.
Cubed brisket beef is good, stewed slowly on the hob, it falls apart after a few hours.

Yup, chilli isn't hard to make from scratch. Takes a bit of time to cook "low and slow", but it's not hard. I personally wouldn't buy it, make it every time.

Agreed, but I stick in the oven in a covered dish for 3-4 hours on a low heat, and lob in diced red and green peppers with an hour to go. Mushrooms good too, plus some root ginger.

Silverado

Silverado is the one to get. Late night emergency grub stakes in the microwave. Use the whole tin cause the beans are the bottom.

Best on Tostada (a flat Taco) if you can get them and then add salad, or relish, cheese or whatever is in the fridge.
