Chili Con Carne

Chili con carne is a go-to camp meal. Apart from being a one-pot meal, it is amazingly healthy, high in protein, and packed with flavor, it is also one of the most flexible recipes to serve.

Serving options include rice, on nachos, in a burrito, in a wrap, in a packet of chips, or over vegetables. And, that is just the tip of the iceberg.

This recipe has a few more vegetables that a ‘traditional’ recipe. If desired, feel free to leave them out.
