Our Slow Cook recipes are perfect for those cold nights - switch on your oven and get ready to cook low and slow to pack maximum flavour. The beauty of this slow-cooked recipe is that it requires minimal elbow work. Most of the magic happens in the oven - where the beef mince and hearty black beans develop a rich depth of flavour from the veggies, passata and Mexican spices like cumin, paprika and chilli. Your only challenge will be to not eat all the corn chips before plating up.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
