Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Slow-cooked British beef with fruity ancho and smoky chipotle chillies, red peppers and kidney beans in a warmly-spiced tomato sauce. With long grain rice.

Firepot says: 

Chilli con Carne is that classic one-pot dish. With smoky beef, soft beans and a gentle chilli heat, this meal is warming in even the coldest of climates. We cook our beef slowly, adding paprika, cumin and sweet tomatoes to provide some serious depth of flavour. With crunchy red pepper, nutty red kidney beans and a subtle spice hit from ancho and chipotle chilli, our one-pot wonder tastes just the way we need it to after a long hike. A South American classic from a barn in Dorset - made for your next adventure.

FIREPOT use high-quality natural ingredients and slow cook them in small batches. There is no freeze-drying involved, no preservatives, and no ingredients you won't recognise. And not only does their food taste good, but it’s exactly what you need to fuel any adventure. Nutritious, delicious and simple to make.

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - Most of us were left a little disappointed by the Chili Con Carne as it was not as flavoursome as we'd hoped. The kidney beans were not fully re-hydrated and there was still a bit of liquid left within the meal. The consistency and texture however was good and although it didn't taste strongly of a Chili Con Carne it's still a nice meal to have and something I would still look forward to eating after a long cold hike - I would just add some salt and a little bit of pepper.
