This is a delightful spin on more traditional Chili recipes. This
type of
chili was originally developed by Greek immigrants. The Cincinnati
Chili
parlors (Empress, Gold Star, Skyline, etc.) are ubiquitous
institutions of
Cincinnati and Indianapolis. There are no beans in this chili and it
is
usually served over spaghetti.

2 to 2 1/2 lb. of ground beef
1 tbs. olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground cumin
3 tbs. chili powder
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 tsp. ground allspice
1 tbs. salt
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 12 ounce can tomato paste
1 15 ounce cans of tomato sauce
4 cups water
2 tbs. vinegar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce (optional)
4 bay leaves
1 oz. block unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 tsp. Ground cayenne peppers (optional)

Add olive oil to a large (4-6 quart) pot over medium high heat. Add
ground
beef and the next 8 ingredients. Stir while cooking until meat is
lightly
browned. Add the tomato paste and tomato sauce along with the water,
vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and chocolate. For more
"fire",
add the ground cayenne (careful).
Bring to boil then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2 to
2 hours.
Stir, occasionally to prevent sticking. Serves six to eight with
listed
accompaniments.

To Serve.
Cincinnati chili lovers order their chili by number "3, 4, or 5-way".
Make
this a fun meal; cook spaghetti, shred some cheddar cheese, chop some
onions, open a can of kidney beans. Let your guests (family) create
their
own final product.

3-Way. Serve chili on deep sided plate or shallow bowl over cooked and
drained spaghetti. Top with finely shredded cheddar cheese. This is
called a
three-way.

4-Way. Sprinkle chopped raw onions on chili before adding cheese.

5-Way. Add cooked beans (kidney) to the top of the chopped onions
before
adding cheese.
We hope you enjoy it!
