Chili Con Carne

This is a recipe for Chilli that I deduced from the book American Gods. It is very good as an appetizer. This ones dedicated to you Neil Gaiman.

Ingredients
half a can of Kidney Beans
Half a bottle of Tomato Sauce
Half a red Capsicum chopped into slices
200g ground beef
Cayenne Pepper
Chili Powder
Cajun Spice
Doritos Chips
3 sprigs of dill chopped
Lemon juice
White Onions
Carrot
Black Pepper
Red Wine
Grated Mozzarella Cheese












Steps: Prepare all of the ingredients. Squeeze the lemon juice from the lemon. Slice up the sprigs of dill and dice the red capsicum. Chop up the white onions, and dice the carrot. When you are using the kidney beans, add in the juice for flavor.

Firstly fry a pan with butter and then add in the white onions until it is nice and fragrant.












When the onions are cooked add in the diced carrots as well as the red capsicum. Keep on frying them until they are cooked and the carrots are not too hard. Add in the Cajun Spice.


Put in the ground beef into the pan. Add the Cayenne Pepper, Chili Powder and black pepper. A good spicy type smell should be rising from the pan. Add in the Sliced sprigs of dill into the pan and mix it together thoroughly. 
When all of the ingredients in the pan are cooked add the tomato sauce to the pan. Mix the ingredients with the sauce so that they level out evenly. Put in some red wine for a good husky taste. Add the kidney beans with the juice to the Mixture. 
Add a small amount of lemon juice for the extra spike as well as to enhance the smell of the chili. Set the pan on low heat and heat the mixture until it reduces to about half and has a firm consistency. If its too watery add some of the cheese. Get a plate and arrange Doritos around the plate. Spoon in the chili on top of the Doritos Chips, Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chili in the plate. Add some sprigs of dill on top as a garnish. Voila you got Chilli Con Carne that tastes good.
