Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 quart of water
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes
  • 15 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Directions to prepare the beef:

  • In a large pot add the beef and the water. Bring it to a boil and cook the beef, stirring to break it up, until the beef is thoroughly cooked. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • The next step is to remove the fat. This can be done one of two ways: You can drain the water from the beef or you can allow the meat to cool a bit then put the pan in the refrigerator overnight. When the fat has solidified remove it from the top of the pan and discard.
  • If you refrigerated the meat overnight, once the fat is removed, place the pot back on the stove and continue to the next step of adding ingredients.
  • If you drained the water/fat off, put the pot back on the stove and add 2-3 cups of water then continue on to the next step of adding ingredients.

Directions to prepare the chili:

  • To the pot of beef add olive oil, onions and garlic. Cook until translucent.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat until the chili is slightly thickened (about an hour).
  • Serve over spaghetti squash.
  • Top with diced onions and cheese as desired.
