CHEF JOHN'S CINCINNATI-STYLE CHILI

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.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 lbs extra lean ground beef (96%)
4 (15 1/2 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 large onions, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 lb carrot, peeled and sliced
4 bell peppers, 1 green 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 orange, cut into 1/2-inch squares
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 (46 fluid ounce) vegetable juice, spicy hot
1/2 cup cashew meal
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, one pound at a time, over high heat together with the garlic and onions. If your skillet or wok is large enough, you can brown the beef all at once to save time. On the last batch, add the spices after the beef is browned and continue frying for another couple of minutes.
  • Add the browned beef to a very large pot with a lid, and then add the beans, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, and V8 juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer. To make the cashew meal, process the cashews in a blender in short bursts, until a grainy meal is formed. Don't process for too long or you'll have cashew butter. Stir in the cashew meal, cover, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Makes 10 servings.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients in Advance: Make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured before starting to cook. This will ensure that the cooking process goes smoothly and quickly.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh, flavorful ingredients for the best results. If you use low-quality ingredients, your chili will suffer.
  • Brown the Beef and Sausage: Browning the beef and sausage before adding them to the chili gives them a nice, caramelized flavor.
  • Use a Variety of Beans: Using a variety of beans gives your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Be sure to rinse them before adding them to the chili.
  • Use a Good Quality Vegetable Stock: The vegetable stock is the base of your chili, so be sure to use a good quality one. A homemade vegetable stock is always best, but a store-bought one will also work.
  • Let It Simmer: The longer you simmer your chili, the better the flavors will develop. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you have time.
  • Garnish It Up: When serving your chili, garnish it with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped onions. These toppings add extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

John's chili is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, with or without beans, John's chili is sure to satisfy. So next time you are looking for a delicious and comforting meal, give John's chili a try.
