Chilli Con Carne

At Hers for dinner tonight as she's promised to use the slow cooker to make Chilli Con Carne. I'm excited, as in general stews and ragus such as this love the slow cooking, being left to infuse all day over a low heat - brilliant.
She's a slightly unconventional cook is the the missus; she pre-warns me that she's added balsamic vinegar to the dish, but more than she wanted as it came out so quickly! Never heard of balsamic being added to a chilli and sure enough it is it's sweetness that comes through with just a hint of hotness - She likes her food quite mild. We ladle it onto our plates with the classic chilli accompaniments: rice, nachos and soured cream. I went back for seconds.
