I normally used really lean mince, chop an onion. Add a jar of homepride chilli cooking sauce in which is 2pp for a 1/4 of a jar them pad it out with some passata which is free x

Try adding a bit of oregano and paprika to the spice mix - authentic flavour , no extra heat . Sometimes I put a little bit of chopped up chorizo in mine - adds lots of depth of flavour. I also use baked beans, chick peas and kidney beans in any combination depending on what I've got in. always use the cheap basics/smartprice beans though - just a waste of heinz etc unless on offer in supermarket.

I use same spices as above but use
2 tin toms
Red pepper
Can of beans
1 lrg carrot finely chopped
2 celery stick finely chopped
I also use stew beef instead of mince & chuck it all in slow cooker all day. Rest of family love it xxx
