Chili Con Carne is one of the winter staple dish. You can cook this in a big batch and then bag them for freezing. Then you can just take them out whenever you need a quick fix and reheat in the oven or microwave. It is very good with chips or rice, topped with grated cheese, and served with a big salad.
