Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the beef and onion until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. While cooking, break the meat into the smallest crumbles possible; this is not chunky chili. After fully cooked, drain some of the fat off the meat.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Add the spices and simmer<\/h3>\n Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAdd the water, tomato sauce and paste, chili powder, chocolate, garlic, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf and spices to the pot with the meat and onions. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 1-3\/4 hours, stirring occasionally. The consistency should be more soupy than a thick stew.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Serve with your favorite toppings<\/h3>\n Discard the bay leaf and serve, if desired, on top of cooked spaghetti or a hot dog with any variation of cheese, additional chopped onion, kidney beans and oyster crackers.<\/p>\n
Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nHow do you store Cincinnati chili?<\/h2>\n Store leftover chili, without the toppings, covered in the refrigerator for up to four days.<\/p>\n
Can you freeze Cincinnati chili?<\/h2>\n Before adding any optional ingredients, allow the chili to cool completely and then store it in airtight freezer-safe containers for up to four months. To reheat the chili, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then heat it in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding water if needed.<\/p>\n
Can you make Cincinnati chili in advance?<\/h2>\n Like any chili, Cincinnati chili can be made in advance and tastes even better the next day. When the chili cools, you\u2019ll probably see a layer of solidified orange-colored fat on top. If you want, you can scrape that fat cap off and discard it before reheating the chili on the stove or in the microwave. But locals will tell you that a bowl of Cincinnati chili just isn\u2019t the same if it doesn\u2019t have a pool of reddish orange fat.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati Chili Tips<\/h2>\nWhat makes Cincinnati chili different?<\/h3>\n Unlike most types of chili, the meaty part of Cincinnati chili has a thinner, more soup-like consistency rather than a chunky one. The spices and chocolate make it richer and add depth. And it\u2019s usually served on a mound of spaghetti with toppings.<\/p>\n
Are there beans in Cincinnati chili?<\/h3>\n Not the way you’re used to seeing beans in regular chili. Kidney beans are often served as a topping along with cheese and chopped onion.<\/p>\n
How do you order Cincinnati chili?<\/h3>\n To order Cincinnati chili like a true Cincinnatian, you\u2019ll want to use the proper lingo. There are a few different \u201cways\u201d to order your ideal bowl with confidence:<\/p>\n
\n2 way:<\/strong> chili + spaghetti<\/li>\n3 way:<\/strong> chili + spaghetti + cheese<\/li>\n4 way:<\/strong> chili + spaghetti + cheese + onions or beans<\/li>\n5 way:<\/strong> chili + spaghetti + cheese + onions + beans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA proper coney can be a simple hot dog on a bun with chili, or a hot dog on a bun topped with chili, mustard, onion and cheese.<\/p>\n
