ingredients

907.18 g ground beef
946.0 ml water
2 medium onions, finely grated
2 (453.59 g) can tomato sauce
5 whole allspice
2.46 ml red pepper
4.92 ml cumin seed, ground
59.16 ml chili powder
14.17 g unsweetened chocolate (1/2 sq.)
4 garlic cloves, minced
29.58 ml vinegar
1 large bay leaf, whole
5 whole cloves
9.85 ml Worcestershire sauce
7.39 ml salt
4.92 ml cinnamon

directions

In a 4 quart saucepot, add ground beef to water. Stir until beef separates to a fine texture. Boil slowly for half an hour.
Add all other ingredients. Stir to blend, bringing to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 3 hours.
Last hour, pot may be covered after desired consistency is reached.
Chili should be refrigerated overnight so that fat can be skimmed from the top before reheating.
If you use very lean (95% or higher) beef you may not need to skim.

My husband had prepared this recipe for dinner and mentioned he only cooked it for an hour(instead of 3hrs.) since he had not read the instructions, and it was delicious. Simmering for three hours will be fabulous the next time! Thanks in Festus, MO

Very good. I substituted 1 can tomato soup for 1 8oz can of tomato sauce. Made the contrasts sweeter.

This is one of the best chili recipes I've ever had. I always make a double batch and freeze 1/2 in individual containers!

This was very nice, but my picky DH from Cincinnati didn't like it as well as the one I usually make (Cincinnati Hubby's Cincinnati Chili, which I just posted). This is very similar to the one we usually use, but with a little less body and richness. It was very good and, of course, smelled just wonderful while it was cooking!
