CINCINNATI CHILI CON CARNE



Cincinnati Chili Con Carne image

This recipe for Cincy's classic chili is an adaptation of one found in the International Chili Society's ''Official Chili Cookbook'' by Martina and William Neely. In this version, unsweetened chocolate adds depth, and a splash of vinegar lends a pleasant tang that cuts through the richness. Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey brought it to The Times in 1981, and we've updated it here to include the traditional "five-way" serving suggestion: over cooked spaghetti sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese, kidney beans and diced white onion.

CHEF JOHN'S CINCINNATI-STYLE CHILI



Chef John's Cincinnati-Style Chili image

You'll love this chili if you tend to like foods from the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Greek food, or Indian food, because of the spices and flavor profile. If you don't, you won't. If you finish this dish off with some diced onions and grated Cheddar cheese like I did, you'll be enjoying what they call in Cincinnati a "Four-Way," because of the four components, but feel free to serve as you like.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, diced
¼ cup chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon allspice
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons white sugar
3 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
6 cups cold water
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 tablespoon diced onion, or to taste
4 cups grated Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine beef and tomato paste in a large pot. Rinse out the tomato paste can with a couple tablespoons of water and add to the pot with garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, allspice, cloves, black pepper, bay leaf, sugar, and salt. Add apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, and cold water. Mash and stir with a potato masher or a large whisk to break up the meat into fine pieces.
  • Place the pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until flavors come together and chili reaches your desired thickness, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Taste chili and adjust seasoning. Remove and discard bay leaf. Ladle over spaghetti into serving bowls. Top with some onions and Cheddar cheese. Cut and scoop the noodles up with a fork like you're eating a casserole.

CINCINNATI CHILI



Cincinnati Chili image

Cincinnati Chili is a meaty, rich, and uniquely spiced chili from (you guessed it!) Cincinnati, Ohio. Serve our authentic Cincinnati chili recipe over hot spaghetti with your choice of toppings. Don't forget the cheese and oyster crackers!

Provided by Sara Bir

Categories     Dinner     1-Pot     Freezer-friendly     Make-ahead

Time 3h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the chili:
2 pounds ground beef (80:20 is good)
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
4 cups water
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 large onion, minced (about 3 cups)
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, optional
Options for serving:
Oyster crackers
Finely shredded mild cheddar cheese
1 (15.5-ounce) can small red kidney beans, drained and warmed
Minced yellow onion
Hot cooked spaghetti

Steps:

  • Cook the tomato paste: Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste to the dry pot and cook, constantly scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the tomato smells rich and toasty and you start to see browned (not burned) patches in the bottom of the pot. This should take 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Simmer gently, uncovered, for 2 to 3 hours: Stir the chili often. You want the volume to reduce a bit. (To be honest, just one hour of cook time is okay, but for optimal chili-ness, go long.)
  • Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight: Refrigerate in an air-tight covered container. (Note: you can eat the chili immediately if you want to.)
