I really wanted to like this recipe, spent an afternoon waiting for it to be done. Made the recipe exactly as stated and I’m not sure if I just don’t like this style of chili but it really wasn’t very good. My family wasn’t crazy about it either. Not sure if cooking the beef this way or the large amount of chili powder gave it a very grainy feel to it. Even cooking it with the lid off at the end, it did not thicken up and was kind of runny. The only think that saved it was serving it over spaghetti. Will not make it again.

Perfection! The only thing I did differently was add some pickled jalapeno slices on top of each serving. Everyone loved it!

Familiar w/Cincinnati chili since I grew up in OH & went to Ohio State (where Skyline Chili was a popular chain). This was great…nice & spicy, but really rich in flavor. I used ground lamb sausage, because I didn’t have any ground beef, and it was awesome. We served it 4-way because I didn’t have time to soak beans, but I imagine it would have been brilliant with beans, too. Perfect for the cool, rainy day we had.

Wow, what a complex, intense flavor combo! I had to make this on a tight timeframe, so I precooked/rinsed/drained the beef and then boiled it for a few minutes before adding the other ingredients. It was easy to make, and tasted like restaurant quality. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

Loved this chili! Very flavorful and but simple enough to decide to make on the spot because the ingredients are nearly always on-hand. Will definitely become a staple this fall and winter thanks for sharing!

Excellent! The only thing I did different was add 1/4 tsp of Allspice. We served it 4-way (no beans) and even my picky husband loved this! Very deep, rich flavor! Thanks Dax, this will be my go to Cinci Chili recipe.

Had an early taste, and my kitchen smells absolutely amazing. I would never have dreamed of trying chili that included cocoa powder and cloves until someone brought it for our superbowl party. This will definitely be a more regular meal on our menu!
