Cincinnati Chili 3-Way

Ingredients

• 1½ lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 clove garlic
• 2 cup beef broth
• 6 oz tomato paste
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp allspice
• ¼ tsp cloves
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 8 oz spaghetti
• 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps

1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
5. While the chili simmers, cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
6. To serve 3-Way, place a portion of cooked spaghetti on a plate, ladle chili over the spaghetti, and top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
