Betty's Incredible Cincinnati Chili--2, 3, 4, 5-Way Recipes

In this video, Betty demonstrate how to make Incredible Cincinnati Chili-2-Way, 3-Way, 4-Way, and 5-Way. This is not your "Texas-Style" chili, but rather a regional dish that is well-known and loved in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, and the surrounding states. The recipe was originated by a Greek immigrant, Tom Kiradjieff in 1922. He called the dish "spaghetti chili," and added a Middle Eastern flavor to the dish. Since that time, the recipe has had many revisions and versions, This is the version that is popular in the area where I live. It sounds unusual--but most people love it!

Ingredients:

2 pounds lean ground beef
2 chopped medium onions
3 minced cloves of garlic
15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate morsels
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves


In a Dutch oven, cook 2 pounds of ground beef, stirring constantly, until beef is crumbled and beginning to brown. Add 2 chopped onions and 3 minced cloves of garlic, and cook along with the beef, stirring constantly, until the beef is brown and the onion and garlic are tender. IDrain any excess fat. Stir in a 15-oz. can tomato sauce, 1 cup of beef broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate morsels, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 hour.

Hi Betty. I'm a Cincy Chili fanatic & I have two suggestions for you to try next time. One, I know for a fact that they put Cinamon in Cincy chili, not sure how much you should use for this amount though. And two, they don't brown the beef. You put the beef in raw with all the ingredients & simmer it for a minimum of two hours, stirring often. This makes the beef so tender that you don't even know its in there! They get the grease out of it by soaking it up with bread off the top after cooking!!

Dude, I've made so much chili in my life. It's like second nature. Truly the best American food. I read abut the history of chili con carne. This video explains the Midwestern way to make chili, except with more spice.
