This is a recipe that my buddy and I made in college… Basically, it is just a clone of Skyline(R) chili. We serve it over spaghetti with grated cheese, onions, and sometimes additional beans.
Ready in: 11 hours 40 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 1 quart water
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 5 whole allspice pods or 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 1/2 teaspoon red pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 4 tablespoons chili powder
• 1/2 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 5 whole cloves
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 3 hours 30 mins | Extra time: 8 hours, chilling

2. Add all other ingredients. Stir to blend, returning to a boil.
