Ingredients:
4 lb ground beef (85/15) 28 oz canned tomato sauce 28 oz petite diced tomatoes, drained 15 oz kidney beans drained (optional) 15 oz pinto beans drained (optional) 1 large yellow onion diced 3-4 jalapeno, seeded and diced 2 stalks celery finely chopped 1 small green pepper, finely chopped ¼ cup chili powder 4 tsp kosher salt 1 Tbsp cumin 1 Tbsp Hershey’s Dark Cocoa 1 tsp black pepper 1 cup water, if needed to thin later
Steps:
In a dutch oven or heavy bottom stock pot, brown the ground beef along with the onions & jalapeno.
After, drain the beef & add the rest of the ingredients except the dark coca. Bring to a boil for 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
Reduce heat and add the dark cocoa. Simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on how fast you want to feed the masses. Serve with crackers, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, or if you are from Cincinnati, over spaghetti noodles.
Notes: Step up the heat by adding hot sauce, more jalapenos or chipotles. If you need to thin it out, add a cup of water until its to the consistency you like.
Spaghett Beer
Most easily put, a spaghett is an Aperol spritz, made with beer instead of prosecco or sparkling wine. While it may sound like a sorta strange combination at first, I swear to you, it just works. Beer provides a similar effervescence you’d get from sparkling wine in a classic spritz, with the added bonus of not being especially sweet.
