What Makes Cincinnati Chili Unique?

This chili style has a smoky, dark, and slightly sweet taste. It uses a unique combination of chocolate, cinnamon, and cloves. Open up to something new!

Chili Ingredients

Unsweetened cocoa is the secret ingredient. If you don’t have cocoa, you can substitute unsweetened chocolate. I wouldn’t use a chocolate bar as that may be too sweet.

In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onions. Chop evenly into small pieces as you cook. Drain.

1

Add the water and tomatoes and bring the pot to a gentle simmer. Add the rest of the ingredients - yes, all of them.

2

 Simmer on low, uncovered, for 1 hour to about 90 minutes. Add a bit of water if the chili becomes too thick.

3

Serve over spaghetti noodles piled high with cheddar cheese or over hotdogs. Additional serving ideas and "ways" are included in the post below.
