Chef Johns Cincinnati Style Chili Recipes

You'll love this chili if you tend to like foods from the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Greek food, or Indian food, because of the spices and flavor profile. If you don't, you won't. If you finish this dish off with some diced onions and grated Cheddar cheese like I did, you'll be enjoying what they call in Cincinnati a "Four-Way," because of the four components, but feel free to serve as you like.

This was my father's chili con carne recipe. He rarely measured anything when making it and consequently neither do I. It is a very mild chili but the heat/spice level can easily be increased (with tabasco or chile peppers) for those who like that sort of thing. The leftovers freeze very well and make an excellent chili mac casserole, it also goes well as Cincinnati style chili (with spaghetti), or in burritos or tacos. I LOVE LOTS and LOTS of dark red kidney beans, but you can use as much or as few beans as you like even substituting light red beans if you prefer. Like all chilis; it's even better the second or third day. The cocoa powder gives it a deeper base note; but can be omitted or instant coffee may be used as a substitution. If you use instant coffee, introduce it in small increments and taste frequently as coffees vary in strength, you may not require as much instant coffee as cocoa powder. The single most variable measure is the ketchup. It is a "to taste" ingredient and is used to balance the seasoning vs tomato. It depends greatly on the amount of the seasoning you add and how acid the tomato sauce and paste are, as well as the intensity of the onion. I can use as little as 3 TBSP or as much as an 8 ounce bottle. It is a very adaptable recipe and handles additions and changes very well. It also travels well for potlucks or brunches. Make it as thick or as thin as you want
