Bongo Fury

It’s getting to that time of year to break the slow-cooker out. For a campsite meal this is ace, you could still do it at work if you run an extension lead out to your Bongo and start it off at 6am. And take a late lunch

For this I used diced beef, none of that poncy minced beef, you might as well crack a tin of Stagg chili open if you’re going to do that.


1kg diced beef, 2 jars Asda hot chili con carne sauce, 2 packets Uncle Ben’s Express Mexican rice


Tip a jar of sauce into the slow-cooker. At this stage it looks like the contents of a PortaPotti


Add the beef....


....and another jar of sauce....


....agitate it with your finger or anything else convenient....


....and switch on – on low heat.


Seven hours later....


....add the rice....


....use a spoon to agitate it now, it’s too hot to use your finger


Another half hour later, chop some coriander and add that to the mix.


Voila - Minimalist effort Chili con carne. Preparation time: 2 minutes. Cooking time: 8 hours.

It was well-received by all at Ashbourne who dared try it. I had the leftovers cold for breakfast

Very nice,

You must have a stomach of steel Muz and I wouldn't like to see the portapotti after

Not mentioning any names but the toilets at one campsite took more of a battering than an awning at Buxton after a recent meet . . . . .

Well,I dont know where Chris has been camping,but i can honestly say that that bog was not at any of the Northwest or Yorks meets.......I now await replies from those Darn Sarf....Reet Oop North and in Welsh Wales,where he may have ventured with Liz

Ah, squat toilets - perfect for getting you prepared for those Scottish wild-camping expeditions

And just in case you're wondering about the sudden glut of chilli recipes, well it's in the news at the moment and you know how I like to keep these meals topical. But I do think the Civil Rights brigade should do something about the exploitation of children in Chile, having 33 Chilean minors trapped underground isn't good publicity, is it

Very little difference in appearance, just a little more sloppy that's all

Smells the same too
