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

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!!!

Cincinnati Chili Recipe (Chili Cheese Dogs) | I Heart Recipes
Hey y’all! If you’ve never had Cincinnati Chili, you’ve got to give it a try. Here’s my recipe for authentic Cincinnati Chili.
I lived in Ohio for just a couple of months when I was 16, and that is when I fell in love with Cincinnati Chili. Everything about it is amazing. The flavors and aroma, even the texture. I had to recreate this dish and make it my own. Watch my tutorial to see how I make my version of Cincinnati Chili.
Start by browning ground beef. You can use ground turkey, but I prefer beef. Add in a good amount of chopped onions, a little water and a can of tomato sauce, and give it a stir. I use a homemade Cincinnati Chili spice mixture as my local grocer doesn’t carry it prepackaged. My spice mixture is super simple and so good. Add this to the meat along with minced garlic and vinegar. Next add in unsweetened chocolate. You read that right, y’all! Unsweetened chocolate is a key ingredient to authentic Cincinnati chili. It gives it a rich flavor and a nice dark color. Stir until the chocolate is melted. Simmer for 2-½ hours, making sure to stir periodically so the bottom doesn’t burn. There are two popular ways to serve this chili. One way is to serve over a bed of spaghetti and the other is to spoon it over a hot dog. Whichever way you decide, top with shredded cheese and onions, and you’re good to go!
