Instructions

  • First, we're going to brown off the mince meat so it doesn't totally disintegrate in the pot.  To do this, spray a large frying pan with frylight, then place the lean mincemeat in and cook until brown.
  • Meanwhile, prep all the veg below and place in the slow cooker.  Note, I wear disposable gloves for the chilli, so I can discard after and not accidentally get any in my eye.
  • Once the meat has browned, also add that to the slow cooker, then give everything a good stir.
  • Place the lid on top and cook on low for 6 - 7 hours or overnight, or on high for 3 - 4 hours.
  • Serve with rice, a dollop of fat free natural yogurt, a sprinkle of reduced fat cheese, fresh herbs (such as coriander) and enjoy!
  • If you enjoyed it, then why not tag me on Instagram (#TastefullyVikkie) so I know you made it?  I LOVE seeing your creations!

Notes

When handling fresh chilli, I recommend wearing rubber gloves in case you touch your eye later, which can be very uncomfortable!
