Skyline Chili Copycat

• 5 cups water
• 6 oz tomato paste
• 1/2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/8 tsp fine ground black pepper
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
• 1.25 lbs ground beef

1) Add water to a large pot with tomato paste and chocolate. Heat over medium heat (I use "5" on my stove) for 3 minutes. Use a whisk to break up the tomato paste.

2) Add the rest of the ingredients. For the beef, use a potato masher or whisk to break up the meat.

3) Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 1.5 hours.

4) Serve with spaghetti, shredded cheese, onions, or whatever other skyline toppings you enjoy!
