Almost Authentic Cincinnati Chili
9 @ from cincinnati and suffers pangs of withdrawal. His favorite is skyline (personally when i've visited i preferred goldstar, but that's heresy so don't tell nick). i've played around with the recipe--it's still not quite perfected, but this is a version we enjoy. The best thing is that it is open to interpretation. Best served over pasta and topped with shredded cheese.
Steps
Crumble raw ground beef into the quart of water.
Add all of the other ingredients.
Simmer uncovered for 1 / 2 hour.
Simmer for another 2 and 1 / 2 hours covered.
Stir occasionally.
Ingredients
water, ground beef, cinnamon, ground cumin, worcestershire sauce, garlic cloves, chili powder, black pepper, red pepper, salt, ground allspice, tomato paste, cider vinegar, bay leaves
