This is a great twist on traditional chili that can be served alone, on spaghetti, or to make chili dogs. While you won’t find cumin, you will find a little cinnamon and even some cocoa! Give it a try!
In a large pot, cook ground beef and onions in a small drizzle of olive oil and cook over medium heat until beef is cooked through and onions are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any fat.
Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more, or until fragrant. Add chili powder, cocoa powder, brown sugar, oregano, cinnamon, allspice, and cayenne. Stir to coat beef/onion mixture. Add tomato sauce, broth, water, vinegar, and beans. Stir to combine (mixture will look rather watery).
Bring chili to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 30-40 minutes, or until thickened and deeper in color.
Serve in soup bowls, over spaghetti, or to make chili dogs. Top with diced onion and cheese as desired.

For all of you out there who don’t live near Cincy or have never tried Cincinnati-style chili, please don’t knock it before you do! It is the BEST kind of chili out there! While I haven’t tried this particular recipe yet, I had to add my two cents before any nay-sayers chimed in!
