Bring a proven crowd-pleaser to your fresh counter with this Classic Chilli Con Carne, crafted to give butchers a dependable, flavour-forward option that cooks evenly and delivers consistent results every time. This recipe uses a smart combination of Verstegen Bond DS, Verstegen World Spice Blend Mexican, and the rich Verstegen Chilli Con Carne Sauce to create a well-balanced mix that holds its shape, cooks cleanly, and offers bold, authentic flavour.

By binding the mince with Bond DS and seasoning it with the Mexican spice blend, you create a smooth, fine texture that stays uniform during cooking. This gives customers a better eating experience and helps prevent clumping, which is essential for Chilli Con Carne sold as a ready-to-cook convenience option. The sauce adds depth, warmth, and colour, while the onion and kidney beans build body and visual appeal. Once mixed thoroughly, the batch transforms into a vibrant, aromatic chilli base perfect for home cooking.

This product sells well across all seasons. Customers enjoy using it in classic bowls of chilli, spooning it over rice, loading it onto nachos, or serving it with baked potatoes. It fits a modern convenience trend: fresh, raw, and ready to cook, with no compromise on flavour. A quick garnish of fresh chillies and Verstegen Decoration Blend Espagnol not only boosts shelf appeal but also signals quality and care.
