We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat, cook onions until soft and slightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste and spices. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  • Step 2: Stir in broth, tomato sauce and vinegar. Add ground beef and stir to break up. I use a potato masher.

  • Step 3: Bring to a good simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chili is deep brown and slightly thickened, 15-20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.

  • Step 4: Serve over cooked spaghetti and top with diced onion, shredded cheddar and a dash of paprika.
