Method

  1. Sauté bacon in a non-stick saucepan that has been generously coated with cooking spray until browned.
  2. Add onion, capsicum and garlic, cook 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook 2 minutes more.
  3. Add tomato paste, stock powder and chilli powder, combine cornflour with milks and add to pot, bring to boil. Once boiled take off heat as evaporated milk can separate when over boiled. Pepper to taste.

Note: Serve with pasta or for a lower carb count use glass noodles. Not included in nutritional information below.

Suitable to be frozen for 2-3 weeks.
