Fantasy Beat: Value Picks in the Bullpen
Jason: here is my family's Cincinnati (Empress) Chile recipe. We probably jacked it from somewhere, but my family is from Cincinnati all the way back to Cincinnatus himself, and this is what they cook.
1 qt. water
2-lbs ground beef, browned and drained
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp cinnamon
2 large onions
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, chopped (or 1/8 tsp garlic powder)
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 Tbsp black pepper
1/2 Tbsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
(2) 6-1/2 oz cans tomato paste **
1 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 Tbsp allspice
3 Bay leaves
Cook all 2-3 hours in a big pot. Real easy.
**May substitute either: 1 can tomato paste & 1 can tomato sauce or: 2 cans tomato sauce (use less water!)
Oh Yes...
Crumble raw meat in water (meat can be frozen). Add ingredients, simmer w/lid on, about 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Serve over spaghetti, topped with cheese (3-way); add chopped onions (4-way); add red (kidney) beans (5-way).
Don't forget the oyster crackers. Also good on hot dogs, bratwurst, etc.
P.P.S. I've lived in Houston for 20 years. And my family hates me for it, but I much prefer southern chili to the Cincinnati version. Both good, but the Cincinnati verision IS a glorified (but tasty) meat-based condiment.
