The Smithsonian calls this dish on of the 20 most iconic American dishes. Created by Greek immigrants to the Cincinnati area, this dish is more of a greek pasta sauce than a traditional Texas Chili. Call it what you want, but it is unique and delicious!
2 lbs ground beef
2 cuts chopped sweet onion
4 cups beef stock
15-16 oz tomato sauce
3 T chili powder
2 T apple cider vinegar
2 t Worcestershire sauce
1/2 oz grated unsweetened chocolate
2 t minced garlic
1 t ground cinnamon
1 t ground cumin
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cayenne pepper
1/4 t ground allspice
1/4 t ground cloves
1 bay leaf
Brown the ground beef and onion, then drain.
Add the beef stock and simmer for about 10 minutes
Add all remaining ingredients and simmer uncovered for at least 1 hour
Remove the bay leaf.
Skim off any extra fat.
Serve over hot spaghetti (we had plenty of Bucatini, so we used that instead) and top with your favorite additions: kidney beans, finely shredded cheddar cheese, diced sweet onion, or top your favorite hot dog! Enjoy!
