On the table in less than 25 minutes, this Quick Beef & Bean Chilli is quick but still full of flavour. Traditionally hailing from Mexico, this spicy stew contains beef, kidney beans and a punchy spice mix to bring the heat.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
