Betty's Incredible Cincinnati Chili: 2-, 3-, 4-, & 5-Way
Betty demonstrates 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!
Incredible Cincinnati Chili (2-Way, 3-Way, 4-Way, and 5-Way)
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. Drain 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.
Accompaniments:
Fettuccine, cooked according to package directions and drained
(2) 15 oz. cans kidney beans, drained, washed, and heated
4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 medium onion, chopped
For the following combinations, it is crucial that you use the order given:
2-Way Chili: Chili served over fettuccine
3-Way Chili: Additionally topped with shredded Cheddar cheese
4-Way Chili: Additionally topped with chopped, fresh onions
5-Way Chili: Additionally topped with kidney beans
The only cracker properly served with Cincinnati chili is the oyster cracker. To serve your chili, pick the style you want, layer it on a plate, and surround it with oyster crackers. Enjoy!!!
