The original version of Chili Con Carne is far from low FODMAP and easy to digest so when I made one that I can tolerate well, without feeling sick afterward, I was over the moon!

*freezing tip:

This Chili Con Carne is perfect for meal prepping and it is freezer friendly. You can make a big batch in advance, freeze portions and defrost when desired. To freeze simply place in a freezer-friendly dish. To defrost cook it in the stove for a couple of minutes until thoroughly warmed.

* FODMAP tip:

*Using beans in this recipe is optional however I prefer it much more when it has beans. Canned butter beans are low FODMAP in 35g per portion and canned black beans are low FODMAP in 40g per portion (you can use whichever you prefer). In this recipe I used 100g canned butter beans, this recipe serves 4 portions, so that is 25g butter beans per portion.

*Use only the green parts of the spring onion as according to Monash University that’s the part that is low FODMAP.

*All the ingredients used in this recipe are FODMAP friendly, however, As a general rule always read the labels of the ingredients that you use as there can be sneaky FODMAP’s in any product. To educate yourself on which foods are high in FODMAP’s I’d strongly recommend downloading Monash Unversity FODMAP Diet.
