We discovered after cooking this that it is really just a delicious meat sauce, not chili as the name suggests. Those who didn't know the ingredients speculated that it was laced with crack or some other drug. But no, it was probably the unique addition of cinnamon and allspice that created such an intriguing flavor and had most of us going back for seconds.
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
Small onion, chopped
1 (29 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can peeled whole tomatoes
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 clove garlic
3 bay leaves
1 box spaghetti
Grated cheddar cheese
Directions:
Brown meat. Add onions to the meat and cook 3-5 minutes. Drain. Place meat and onions in large pot or crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low 4-5 hours, covered. Cook and drain spaghetti 15 minutes before serving. Remove bay leaves and garlic and serve on spaghetti with grated cheddar cheese. Serves 6 to 8.
(If you wanted to make it more chili-ish you could try adding a can of kidney beans to the pot.)
