Spicy Chili con Carne

Spicy Chili con Carne
Spicy Chili con Carne is a popular spicy ground beef dish. My version is on the very hot side but if you cannot take the extra heat just reduce the chili ingredients to your preference. To allow the flavors to infuse together the dish is best serve the day after. But if you cannot wait that long just let the dish to cool down until the sauce thickens a bit. Chili con carne is popular garnish for hot dog sandwich serve with a lot of cheese and pickled relish. However to us Pinoys this is one yummy vian (ulam), serve with a lot of rice. Enjoy.
