If like me you always make too much Chilli Con Carne then you will no doubt end up having to freeze it or eat it the next day in a huge Yorkshire pud or on a jacket spud.

Well here is one way to use the left overs, it’s great for parties too…..i can’t find the pic so if anyone makes them before i have time to given them another go then please send me it.

Ingredients

  • left over chilli con carne
  • 1 packet of filo pastry
  • melted butter
  • guacamole (optional)
  • soured cream (optional)
  • Tabasco sauce (optional)
  • Cheddar cheese (grated)

Method

  1. Take a sheet of filo out of the packet, brush with melted butter, cut into 6 pieces.
  2. Take one of the pieces and place in a muffin tin, then take another piece and place in the opposite direction in the same muffin section, repeat until you have filled your muffin tray. the should end up looking a bit like this (sorry that’s the closest thing i could find)
  3. Fill each cup with chilli con carne and sprinkle with cheese
  4. Bake in a hot oven for 15-20mins or until golden and crispy
  5. Remove from muffin tray, add a spoon of guacamole or soured cream and some Tabasco to each and serve.

You could also make little mini pasties or fold them over into won-ton shapes like this
