Cincinnati Chili

Many years ago, I was introduced to Skyline Cincinnati Chili. It was so good, I found a recipe for it. This recipe is from the Chunky Chef.

Skyline Cincinnati Chili

5 cups water

6-oz can tomato paste

1/2 oz baking chocolate

1/4 cup chili powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp allspice

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or less)

3/4 tsp salt

2 Tbs apple cider vinegar

1 1/4 lb lean ground beef

Add the water to a large pot. Add tomato paste and chocolate and cook on medium heat. Mix with whisk until all ingredients are blended. Add rest of ingredients, including ground beef. Mix up beef. Heat on high until boiling then lower temperature to low and cook for an hour. Cool, place in refrigerator. Skim fat layer.

Serve over spaghetti and call it 2 way. Add cheese and it becomes 3 way. Onion or beans make it 4-way. Onion and beans make it 5 way.
