Cincinnati Chili

How Wild! I JUST made this recipe last weekend & LOVED it.
I specifically chose this recipe because I wanted to brown the meat & onion. I sprinkled all the spices over the meat & let them "bloom" for a minute or so... then deglazed w/ 1 C. beef stock (in lieu of water) before adding the tomato.

IMO, it seems inaptly named "chili". Actually reminds me of a unique "brown tasting" bolognese spaghetti sauce I used to eat at a small family owned Italian restaurant in NYC. I've been trying to recreate that special brown flavor for years... THIS IS IT! I may never make "red tasting" spaghetti sauce again.

I grew up in Cinci and moved away when I was 18 years old. I am now 37. My family still lives there and I visit once a year......Not because of my family....it's because of the chili! Gold Star and Skyline. It rocks!!!They pretty much taste the same, but, snobs go to skyline because it was the origional. I remember in the late 70's, Pete Rose did Gold Star commercials and caught alot of heat because of it. Whatever....that was also the same time George Clooney's dad was the news anchor on ABC and Jerry Springer was the news anchor on NBC. This was his job after being mayor, but, he wrote a check to a prostitute and the rest is history.
Cinci chili rocks!!!! the rest of Ohio SUCKS!!!
