Here you go. I don't care. No matter how you make, it won't taste the same as mine. I do use Turkey. Turkey makes it a lighter chili and I have yet to have anyone complain.
Cincinnati Chili
1 Tblspn Olive oil
2 Medium Onions
4 Cloves of Garlic (crushed)
2 Pounds lean ground beef (or turkey)
4 cups beef broth
1 15oz can of tomato sauce
1 Tspn ground allspice
2 Tblspnchili powder
½ Tspn Cayenne pepper
1 Tspn Ground cumin
Flour or corn starch
1 Bay leaf
¼ Tspn ground cloves
2 Tblspn White vinegar
½ oz of un-sweetened Chocolate
1 Can of red kidney beans
Sweat onions and garlic in olive oil.
Cook meat until brown.
Add onions, garlic, meat, broth, tomato sauce and allspice. Simmer ½ hour.
Mix chili powder, cumin and cayenne separately.
Add chili powder mix to taste.
Simmer 3 hours.
Add bay leaf, ground cloves and chocolate and beans.
And flour or corn starch to thicken and simmer for 1 hour stirring on a regular basis.
Once you add the chocolate turn heat to lowest setting, and stir every few minutes. The chocolate makes it easy to burn on the bottom. If you burn it, the whole batch will taste “burned”.
