This is my grandfather's recipe for chili. Serve it over pasta (preferably spaghetti) mid-west style with cheese, Tabasco, oyster crackers and sour cream. I usually use ground turkey (tastes the same to me, but traditionally its ground beef). Note: the last three ingredients are put in a cheesecloth bag to soak, if you don't have cheesecloth, or whole allspice, just throw it in and fish them out before serving.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 quart water
2 medium onions, finely diced
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon red pepper
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 dashes worcestershire sauce
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
5 bay leaves
3 dried ancho chiles
35 whole allspice
Directions:
1. Combine last three ingredients (bay leaves, dried chilies, allspice) in cheesecloth bag.
2. Add all ingredients to large stockpot or crockpot.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover.
4. Let simmer for at least 3 hours.
