Meat and Spice Mixture
- 4 medium onions finely chipped
- 8 cloves garlic optional, finely minced
- 4 pounds lean ground beef
- 8 cups beef broth
- 2 can 15-ounce cans tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Chili Spice Paste Mixture
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 2 tablespoons water
Pasta
- 2 boxes spaghetti noodles or rotini
In large pot brown hamburger, add in onions and garlic and cook until onions are translucent. Drain any fat.
Add the beef broth, tomato sauce, and allspice. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes.
Add bay leaves, ground cloves, vinegar, chocolate, and salt, to taste.
Stir in the chili paste mixture.
Cover and cook over low heat for about an hour. I like to let it simmer for about 3 hours. Don't let it get too thick. Add more broth if needed.
Prepare the spaghetti noodles when there are approximately 20 minutes remaining in the chili's cook time. When the chili and spaghetti are done, serve the chili ladled over the spaghetti.
