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!!!

MY WAY CHILI SPAGHETTI (IN THE SPIRIT OF CINCINNATI CHILI) RICHARD IN THE KITCHEN
My Way Chili Spaghetti
Homemade Chili spaghetti is so delicious and easy to make. You may at first be turned off by the thought of chili over a plate of spaghetti, but I promise you your flavor palate will jump for joy when all these flavors come together in your mouth. It just seems to work. You will notice this is not your traditional chili recipe. My recipe is in the spirit of the famous Cincinnati chili, but I'm not calling it that because the Cincinnati chili critics will come after me. The fact is, after all my research on Cincinnati chili, nobody knows exactly what the spice profile is. There seems to be a few common spices that everyone agrees on, but the entire recipe appears to be a well kept secret. Prepared differently than your regular chili along with the specially blended spices sets this chili apart. It's also different in the way it is served and even eaten. Served over spaghetti in one of five ways that includes shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions and/or beans. Either way you eat it it's always topped off with an ungodly amount of finely shredded cheddar cheese. Grab a dash of hot sauce and oyster crackers and the dish is complete. Grab a fork to cut it and eat it (NO SWIRLING ALLOWED) and enjoy an incredibly delicious chili-spaghetti meal. Enjoy!
Shopping List:
NOTE: This is not intended to be the authentic spice profile used in authentic Cincinnati Chili as it is a well kept secret. It does however contain three spices that everyone seems to agree is in this chili those being the cinnamon, cloves and all spice. The remaining spices I used work very well together and is extremely delicious. Hope y'all enjoy!
2 tbsp Chili Powder
1 tbsp Onion Powder
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Cocoa Powder (optional. Adds balance to the bitterness of cumin and chili powder)
1 tbsp Paprika
2 tsp Kosher Salt (more to taste if needed after simmering)
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (adds sweetness and balances the cumin and chili powder)
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
1 tsp white sugar (this balances out the tomato sauce)
4 cups Water
4 oz Tomato Paste
1 lb Ground Chuck Beef 80/20
16 ounces (1 lb) thick spaghetti
1/4 cup chili kidney beans per serving
About 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese per serving.
Hot sauce
Oyster crackers
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine all seasonings. Set aside.
In a medium pan over medium heat, pour water and tomato sauce and whisk until blended.
Add spice mixture and whisk until blended. Increase temperature to medium high.
Add ground beef into pan and break it up into crumb sized pieces like mince. A potato masher works well for this.
Allow to come to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for at least 2 1/2 - 3 hours until significantly reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. Just as a guide, my stove setting was just under the number 2 setting. It should be obviously bubbling lightly while simmering. It's ready when you can barely see any liquid. Be sure to taste for more salt if needed.
Allow to cool, cover and place in the fridge overnight. This step is optional. It just allows for easy removal of any excess fat the next day that will have risen to the top. If you use 80/20 ground beef there will be very little fat if any. It also allows all those flavors to come together.
The next day, skim off any of the fat rose to the top. Reheat and serve in one of the following ways:
For 3 way: Plate drained spaghetti cooked according to packaged directions, top with chili and mound of finely shredded cheddar cheese.
For 4 way: Plate drained spaghetti, top with chili, diced onions and finely shredded cheddar cheese.
For 5 way: Plate drained spaghetti, top with chili, heated drained kidney beans, diced onions and finely shredded cheddar cheese, or
For Cheese Coney: Steamed hot dog bun, beef hot dog, top with mustard, chili, diced onions and finely shredded cheddar cheese.
Finally, top off with oyster crackers with a dash of hot sauce.
