Chilli & Nachos!

This is going to be a popular one! It literally tastes amaaaaazing!! 

INGREDIENTS:
•Mince Meat (I used Veal)
•White Onion (1/2 large diced)
•Cherry Tomato (4 sliced)
•Tinned Tomatoes (2/3 tin)
•Kidney Beans (1 tin)
•Peppers (1 in total, sliced)
•Chilli pot (Knorr- these are amazing!!)
•Garlic (1 clove crushed)
•Beef stock cube
•Cumin (2 teaspoons- or to taste)
•Pepper & Salt (to taste)


RECIPE:
•Cook on a medium heat
•Half cook Mince in frying pan with a little oil, then add Onion
•Drain half the liquid (or remove with a spoon if your clumsy)
•Add Chilli pot & stock cube and stir through for a minute 
•Add in the Peppers and sliced Toms for 2 minutes 
•Add Kidney Beans for another 2 mins 
•Finally add the tinned Toms, Cumin & Pepper and simmer (turn to low & keep stirring!)
•Make your Nachos and Guacamole now...... Recipe below




NACHOS:
•Slice the Sweet Potato thinly width ways- thin is the trick. Not wafer thin.... I think ideal would be the depth of a pound coin (if you want to get precise over it!!).
•Oil your baking tray - ONLY use the smallest amount of oil as possible. I used 3 sprays of Olive oil Spray light for the base
•Add a little Salt & Pepper (just a little)
•Then place the Sweet Potato disks flat onto the tray, not to be overlapping 
•Add another 3 sprays of and a tiny but of salt & pepper 
•Cooking begins- use a medium heat and keep an eye on them! You need to turn them over 3-4 times to ensure even cooking and no burning.

•A trick is to precook them, and then recook them from cold, on a pizza tray (one with holes in)... This gets then reeeeal crispy!! 👍






GUACAMOLE:
•Smash Avocado (1-2 whole Avocados) with a fork
•Add some chopped white Onion & Tomato
•Stir it up and serve 
Also tastes great with a squeeze of Lime, and chopped Coriander! 



Enjoy!!!!

Meaty Egg Muffins

Easy peasy.... 


•Fry diced white onion and garlic in a little coconut oil
•Whisk eggs and season with Salt & Pepper
•Add chopped cooked sausage and cooked mince meat to egg mix
•Add fried onion and garlic too
•Grease muffin cases/tray
•Cook on 180c until done (approx 20 mins)


The reason I don't specify how many eggs is because it depends on how much mince & sausage you use... Or how many egg muffins you want to make.



Enjoy!
