10 Cincinnati Chile

Coming from the most chili-mad city in the United States after Texas, Cincinnati chili is a popular dish made with ground meat, stock, and unusual spices such as cinnamon, allspice, Worcestershire sauce, and chocolate or cocoa. The chili is usually served over pasta such as spaghetti, then topped with a flavorful combination of shredded Cheddar, fried beans, onions, and crushed oyster crackers.

With more than 180 chili joints in the city, Cincinnati takes great pride in being a chili capital. The dish was invented in 1922 by a Macedonian immigrant called Tom Kiradjieff. He opened a Greek restaurant called The Empress, which was a total failure until Tom started to serve chili prepared with Middle Eastern spices.

But did she break the yolk or not?

I buy Carroll Shelby’s Original Texas Chili Mix in the 4 packs from Amazon as no grocery stores near me stock it anymore.

I use it as a base for my “Aztec 3 Bean Turkey Chili” but add a lot of other ingredients including a dash or 2-3 of unsweetened dark coco powder (must be the unsweetened dark), smoked paprika, a bit of balsamic vinegar, a few pinches of dark brown sugar, tsp of course ground country mustard. I use black beans, kidney beans and cannellini beans and red bell peppers, red onion, several cloves of garlic and fire roasted tomatoes and tomato paste, adding some chicken stock if necessary if too dry.

The unsweetened coco and the smoked paprika gives it an earthy and smokey flavor, the balsamic vinegar and mustard some tang and the dark brown sugar some balance.

I sauté the garlic, onion and red bell peppers in some olive oil, then add the Carroll Shelby’s chili seasoning and red pepper and keep sautéing being careful not to burn. Then I add and brown the ground turkey (and yes I’ve made it with ground beef or chili beef too but for this I like lean ground turkey).

Then I transfer this to a large crock pot and add the drained beans and tomatoes and other ingredients. I cook on low in the crock pot for at least 4 hours and taste several times adding salt and fresh ground pepper to taste, add the masa from the Carroll Shelby mix and either chicken stock or water if needed.

I never serve over spaghetti. As I side I may serve with lime cilantro rice or corn bread but typically not as the chili is filling enough.

I serve in a bowl and top it with sliced green onion, a small dollop of sour cream, some shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican) and drizzle with some avocado oil.

looks like my dinner i call it chili mac

I make taco mac. My kids love it!

4 boxes of spiral mac and cheese, 2 pounds ground beef, 2 packets Taco Bell taco seasoning.

Prepare the mac and cheese by instructions. Prepare the taco meat by instructions. Once both are finished, mix it all together.

It'll stay for a while in the fridge but it never lasts long. My kids eat it up quickly.

I do consider Carroll Shelby’s a rare thing, a good store-bought mix.

I wonder if anyone here has found a copycat recipe for the powdered spaghetti sauce mix packet inside the boxes of Kraft Spaghetti Classics Tangy Italian Spaghetti.

Hi.

Long time ago I posted my chilli recipe on FR.

Won a few awards.

Doesn’t include pasta. It stands alone (although some come close).

You will enjoy my chilli twice (evil grin).

A few days ago, I started going down a rabbit hole on You Tube watching chef reaction videos. Some of these are by professional chefs who find the worst You Tube cooking channels like Kay’s Cooking and Cooking with Jack Show, both terrible yet confident cooks - Kay attempted to make fried rice but put raw uncooked rice in a cold frying pan with olive oil and Jack who made 2 versions of baked chicken, both too raw and one bloody raw.

Rather than just pointing out their mistakes and laughing or disgusted (which they do) they point out proper technics so something can be learned. Some of these videos are quite funny.

I also learned that most professional chefs abhor Jamie Oliver and Rachael Ray.

One of my favorites is Chef Brian Tsao https://www.youtube.com/@ChefBrianTsao who often does reactions of “Uncle Roger” reacting to bad Asian cooking, sometimes with other chefs. Uncle Roger BTW is not himself a professionally trained chef, but a comedian named Nigel Ng but is very knowledgeable. He’s gotten some criticism for his over-the-top Chinese accent, but the guy is hilarious. But warning – Uncle Roger on his own channel can drop a few F bombs and jokes that are NSFW/NSFC.

They also do reaction videos of really great cooking too.

Anyway, in these virtual travels, I came across an Italian chef Vincenzo Prosperi - Vincenzo’s Plate https://www.youtube.com/@vincenzosplate who is amazing.
