Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef browned and drained
1 half small onion finely diced
1 cup water
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1/4 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
Shredded cheddar cheese for topping
Red kidney beans for topping
Diced white onion for topping
Cooked spaghetti

Instructions

To your slow cooker add the browned beef, onion, water, tomato sauce, chocolate, chili powder, cinnamon, garlic powder, cumin, allspice, ground cloves, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, sugar and vinegar.
Stir it all together and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high 2-4 hours.
Serve over hot dogs, or spaghetti noodles.

Notes

You can serve this a number of ways, just on the noodles, topped with kidney beans, topped with onions, topped with cheese. Any combination of those is equally delicious.
Depending on your slow cooker this can either get thick or thin, so if it gets too thick just add a splash of water. If you want it thicker, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to ¼ cup cold water and add that until you get your desired thickness.
Store this chili in the fridge for up to 3 days.
This freezes beautifully so place it in an freezer gallon bag in the freezer so you can have this delicious chili anytime!
