Chilli Con Carne

[Atina Lladoog]

I bought a jar of WW Chilli Con Carne last week, so the other night I used it with 150g of Quorn, it was delicious and made 2 meals, I had the other portion the next day. 5PPs per serving

I had mine with a jacket potato I enjoyed it so much have been this evening and bought 2 more jars. I got mine from B&M, haven't seen it anywhere else - cost 89p.

I made it a few weeks back using a schwartz packet. Making it again tomorrow using chicken fillets to reduce points. I think it comes in at 7pp including a tin of kidney beans.

Sorry I'm new to this diet and just getting my head around it.

If I was to make my own sauce using tin tomatoes and spices would it be 0pp? Then just use pp for quorn and kidney beans?

Tescos have the chilli, sausage casserole and creamy mushroom sauces. Asda has the sweet & sour x

Yes, 0pp for your tin toms, spices, veg and chillis. If you use 1 oxo cube for whole recipe that would be 0pp and then just point your tomato puree, quorn/mince and kidney beans
