Number Of Ingredients 22

Ingredients

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 1/2 pounds 85 percent lean ground beef
8 all-beef hot dogs
8 buns
Yellow mustard
1 cup white onion, chopped fine
12 ounces mild cheddar, shredded fine

Steps:

Directions: In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add onions and cook until soft and browned around edges, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, oregano, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt, pepper, and allspice and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, vinegar, and sugar; stir until combined. Add beef. Crumble the meat with the edge of a wooden spoon to break apart into tiny pieces so no clumps remain. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chili is deep brown and slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt. (Chili can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.) Boil, grill, or microwave the hot dogs until warmed through-out. Serve hot dogs in steamed buns, top with desired amount of chili, mustard, onion and cheese.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
Brown the meat well. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chili from being greasy.
Don't overcook the chili. The longer you cook it, the more the flavors will blend together and the less distinct they will be.
Add the spices gradually. This will help you to control the heat of the chili and prevent it from becoming too spicy.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, onions, and oyster crackers.

Conclusion:

Cincinnati chili is a delicious and unique dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its rich flavor and complex spices, it's a perfect meal for a cold winter day. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give Cincinnati chili a try. You won't be disappointed.
