Anyone have a chilli con carne recipe....

[Lollie86]

I have been making it but using the packet mix from maggi.

Would like to know how to make it from scratch....

I haven't made this one but came across it tonight while I was trying to decide what to do with the mince I got out for dinner tonight...
