Award Winning Cincinnati Chili

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. ground turkey or lean ground beef or a combo of both
  • 2 sweet onions, diced
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 2 tsp. Kosher salt
  • ¼ cup chili powder
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1- 2 tbsp. cumin
  • 1 tbsp. roasted cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp. dark cocoa
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 28 oz. crushed tomatoes
  • 16 oz. beef bone broth

Directions

In a large stockpot, brown the meat, in the olive oil and add the diced onion. Then simmer for 4-5 minutes until the onions are tender and the meat is browned.

Add the seasonings, and stir to combine, allowing the seasonings to heat through and become fragrant, another 2-3 minutes. Then add the tomatoes, broth and bring to a gentle simmer, over low to medium heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. This chili tastes better the longer you simmer. The sauce should reduce and become thick as it cooks.

Serve it the “traditional” way, with spaghetti noodles, drained and rinsed kidney beans, green onions, cheddar cheese, and oyster crackers.
