Gluten Free Chili (Beef Con Carne Recipe)

by Becky | Posted in Dinner

Short on time but want something delicious and comforting? Then this Gluten Free Chili Con Carne recipe is perfect for you.

I make no apology for the use of tinned and canned products here sometimes it just has to happen.

This chili freezes well and I often make more than I need so I can add some to a pasta dish, jacket potato.

I have even been known to eat it on its own with cool tortilla chips or pitta bread.

What more can I say – try it!
