If you're having a Bonfire Night party, a bowl of piping hot chilli con carne is the perfect way to fill up your guests. In fact, it's become a popular meal of choice for many on November 5. ‌

UK searches for the spicy meat dish have surged by 40 per cent in the last month, perhaps also down to the chillier weather. The popular dish is one that many people think they know how to make, usually serving it with rice and sour cream. ‌

Gousto chef Sophie Nahmad has shared a secret trick chefs use to elevate the flavour. And it involves adding a cup of an unexpected ingredient to the pan. ‌

Sophie, lead recipe developer at Gousto, said the trick to making your chilli taste like it's simmered all day long is to add a cup of coffee to the pan while cooking.
