Authentic Cincinnati Chili
  1. Start by gathering all the ingredients needed for the recipe.

  2. In a large pan, add the ground beef and cover it with cold water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring and breaking up the beef with a fork until it reaches a fine texture.

  3. Allow the beef to boil slowly until it is fully cooked, which should take about 30 minutes.

  4. Next, add the chopped onions, tomato sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and the square of unsweetened chocolate to the pan.

  5. Stir in the chili powder, salt, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper until everything is well combined.

  6. Add the whole cloves, allspice berries, and bay leaf to the mixture.

  7. Bring the chili to a boil again, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

  8. If needed, add more water during cooking to prevent the chili from burning.
