This is one of our favourite comfort foods ever! Fresh bread, spicy mince, cool cream, melted cheese and crunchy veggies.

Every time we cook chilli con carne I hide away a bit for our sloppy Joe sandwiches the following day.

INGREDIENTS

• bread roll (halved and toasted, I used wholemeal one)
• slice of cheese (I used Red Leicester)
• few slices of cucumber, bell pepper and onion
• about 3 tbs leftover chilli con carne (warmed up)
• about 1 tbs crème fraiche or soured cream

METHOD

Assemble the sandwich and enjoy!

Makes 1 sandwich.

TIPS

This recipe will work not only with chilli con carne but any leftover mince sauce, the spacier, the better.
