Cincinnati Chili

Directions

1. 1
   Cook ground beef on stovetop over medium to medium high heat until browned through (about 5 minutes).
2. 2
   Add about 1/2 to 3/4 cup onion and the 1-2 cloves minced garlic and cook about 2 more minutes or until onion is translucent.
3. 3
   The key with the onion is to cut the pieces pretty small, almost minced, so they are not noticeable.
4. 4
   This is not your normal chunky chili, should be more of a saucy consistency.
5. 5
   Break up the meat while you are cooking also!
6. 6
   Then, pour into a large (2-3 quart) soup pot.
7. 7
   Add other ingredients (except cheese, noodles, crackers, and remainder of onion) and stir well.
8. 8
   Bring to rapid boil, stirring frequently.
9. 9
   Once mixture boils, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 50-60 minutes.
