[url= http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3228/chilli-con-carne ]This[/url] is a great chilli recipe. I double up all the spice quantities though.
I'm a jacket potato convert, but still enjoy rice sometimes.
Interesting. I might keep an eye out for something local.
Pork and Chorizo chilli is great, Chilli is easy you just put the stuff you like in it. Chipotle is a good call adds another dimension to the flavour.
Chipotle is getting big over here these days, first encountered it 5 years ago in America.
Ah, cool. That's an interesting read, ta.
I really like this one, just increase the cumin by 50-100% for that nice 'dry savoury' taste. Yum.

Just kicked back after throwing together ericemel's recipe from page 1 - It's currently simmering away quite nicely.
I have to say, it seems an awful lot of herbs/spices concentrated into a dish that doesn't appear to have made that much. I believe it's going to be a rather "intense" experience.
Don't let me down ericemel!
Another vote for lots of cumin here, it really makes the chilli. I use whole cumin seeds and then pummel them in a mortar and pestle before adding to the chilli. 3 heaped table spoons in a large pan full is not excessive.
Anchovies, instant coffee, cocoa all add to the flavour complexity too.
I use one that I've pinched and adapted from one of the above threads.
I generally multiply up to 1 or 2 kg mince, as it's pretty much the same effort, and does multiple meals.
500g mince
1 small Onion
3 garlic cloves
tbls cumin
tbls smoked paprika
tbls oregano
2 tbls chilli powder
1 tsp salt
1 tin of beans, eg black eye, kidney, whatever (optional)
small jar/tin tomato puree (optional)
4 shots espresso
100ml ish of beef stock so it's just wet
Brown mince + onions + garlic
Slow cooker for 3+ hours
Eat with lots of white rice, greek yoghurt and strong cheddar.
