go for the hotter version, tasteless
where was the chilli?
Very bland!
I found this to be a very bland chilli. I know that they have another version that is "hot", but this had zero heat, which is weird for a chilli. It was also just generally bland. I added a lot of salt and pepper and it became OK. Just OK. I probably won't buy again.
TOO HOT
I love chilli but this one was so hot I could not eat it. I thought it was something I had put on it that had made it hot, but it was the sauce. Far too hot for me.
Not enough flavour and far too much corn flour, it
Not enough flavour and far too much corn flour, it comes out a pastel shade of orange. Results in a tasteless glutinous chilli, I could've put up with it being bland had it not been starchy. Gross.
Excellent
Great product saves a lot of time in cooking .
Tasty chilli
Review from Unilever UK
Very yummy chilli. I was expecting it to be bland. However it was full of flavour a little spicy but so tasty. Would definitely buy again. Great if you want a lovely tasting chilli.
Yummy family meal
Review from Unilever UK
I like having packets like this in for those, what do I fancy days. We decided we wanted chilli but with jacket potatoes and not rice. I prefer the sauce more runny this way to moisten the potatoes more and the satchet option allows for this easier than jars. The instructions were easy to follow, not to many ingredients required. Cooked quickly and easily. Tasted nice, spice level just right for our family although my daughter complained about spice but she has a very low spice tolerance! The rest of us enjoyed the flavour and the taste and found it an enjoyable meal. I like being able to slightly alter the recipe, extra veg, consistency etc. Husband said he found it slightly bland but I then added chilli powder to ours and he yummed it up. This would also be handy to use in a slow cooker when out for the day to come home to a nice dinner. Would certainly purchase again and keep a spare in the cupboard.
So simple!
Review from Unilever UK
I've never tried any of Colman's packet mixes before but after using the Chilli Con Carne mix I'll certainly be trying more from the range. The directions were really simple to follow and the result was better than I ever expected it to be. I'm generally a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food so I was glad it was mild enough for me to enjoy. I've always been of the belief that all food made from scratch tastes better so I've never used a chilli mix before but it tasted way better than my usual effort and way less labour intensive and time consuming.
Quick and easy meal
Review from Unilever UK
It was very easy to find the required ingredients and the clear instructions were easy to follow. It comfortably made 4 portions and was really tasty and had a more smokey flavour than I usually make myself. However, I think this recipe mix could easily be made with some basic store cupboard spices but still very easy and convenient either way!
Fab fab fab tasty chilli
Review from Unilever UK
The recipe was so easy to follow. The packaging is great and colourful. It's easy to make and just tastes delicious. My family and friends loved the home cooked chilli con carne. It's cheap to buy in the shops and the portion size you get from the packaging is amazing. I would defiantly buy again and use as a regular meal.
