Beef Chuck Chilli with Hasselback Potatoes
Feb 03, 2022
This beef chilli and hasselback potato combination is perfect for serving guests or just a nice dinner with family on those cold winter nights. It uses a piece of beef chuck – which is a cheaper cut, but because of the long, slow cook becomes really tender and gives your chilli much more flavour than just using mince.
