Ingredients#

# For the chili
 2 pounds ground beef (80:20 is good; 90:10 works as well and will obviously be less fatty)
 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
 4 cups water
 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
 1 large onion, minced 
 6 cloves garlic, minced (pre-minced in the jar is fine)
 3 tablespoons chili powder
 1 teaspoon cumin
 1 teaspoon cinnamon
 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
 2 teaspoons kosher salt
 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

TIP: Measure all of your ingredients first. I usually set all of the spices on my left with a small bowl in front of me. As I measure and put each ingredient into the bowl, I move the spice bottle to the right side so I know I’ve added it. It’s really easy to forget which spices you’ve measured out!
