Chilli Con Carne

I am new to making Chilli Con Carne because it is not something we used to eat back home.  It isn’t hard to make and I really like it but the meat is really different here.  Mince in particular.  It’s not proper mince if you know what I mean?!  Hard to explain but here is my Chilli recipe anyway..
