    Great recipe, very forgiving. I tend to double the spice amounts for a bit more flavour.

    I thought this was surprisingly really good and much better than it had a right to be considering how much of a cheat's recipe it is. Instead of stewing for an hour or more, this chilli can be cooked for less than half an hour due to the flavour added to it from chorizo, sweet chili sauce and a blend of spices as well as jarred pasta sauce. I didn't add extra chilli flakes as recommended as I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to spices and I found the mild kick of the sweet chilli sauce to be enough for me. I'll definitely be making this one again when I fancy a hearty midweek meal, especially in winter.

    I have tried so many different recipes for Chilli but this is definitely my favourite. If I try another recipe the kids rebel! The chorizo is an inspired addition, adds a lovely flavour. Serve with Jamie's guacamole from "Meals in 30 minutes", whizzed up in moments in food processor.
