I learned to make this when we lived in Kentucky everyone who tries it requests the recipe. Great with a nice green salad.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 1 cup chopped onion shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 2 pounds lean ground beef shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa powder shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice shopping list
- 2 8ounce cans tomato sauce shopping list
- 1 6ounce can tomato paste shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar shopping list
- 2 cups extra strong beef broth shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons honey shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- 1 pound linguine shopping list
- 2 cans 15 1/2 ounce dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained shopping list
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded shopping list
- 1 medium onion chopped for garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Place the oil and onions in a large heavy pot over low heat. Cook for 10 minutes to wilt, add the garlic the last 2 minutes. Stir often. Add the ground beef, then raise the heat to medium. Cook until browned, breaking up the lumps, about 10 minutes. Drain to remove any excess grease.
- Add the cocoa and the spices; cook, stirring for 1 minute.
- Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, vinegar, honey and beef broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the kidney beans, heat through and simmer for about 10 minutes for flavors to blend.
- Just before serving, cook the linguine as directed in a large pot of boiling water. Drain.
- To serve, divide the noodles evenly among 8 shallow pasta bowls. Top with the chili, garnish with cheese, chopped onions (and some people add oyster crackers.) Serve immediately.
