Ingredients
For the Chili
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 3 cups water
- 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ½ teaspoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 bay leaves
- 1½ teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
For the Toppings
- Cooked Spaghetti
- shredded cheddar cheese
- white onion diced
- chili beans
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy stockpot, stir together the ground beef and water until soupy.
- Stir in all of the remaining ingredients and bring to a rapid simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 3 hours.
- Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles (2-way), top with shredded cheddar cheese (3-way), chopped white onions (4-way), and/or canned, drained chili beans (5-way). Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Nutritional values are based on one serving without toppings
- I used 85% ground beef and there was just a bit of grease when I stirred it at the end. I tend to like 85% for things like chili and meat sauce since it adds more flavor, but if you want to eliminate any grease, you may want to go with 90% lean.
