Chef John's Cincinnati-Style Chili Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Ground Beef Recipes. (Chef John's Cincinnati-Style Chili Recipe). You'll love this chili if you tend to like foods from the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Greek food, or Indian food, because of the spices and flavor profile. If you don't, you won't. If you finish this dish off with some diced onions and grated Cheddar cheese like I did, you'll be enjoying what they call in Cincinnati a \"Four-Way,\" because of the four components, but feel free to serve as you like.
