Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the ground beef and beef stock to a large pot and break the meat up completely with a whisk so the texture stays fine.

  2. 2

    Stir in the tomato sauce, grated onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick and glossy, about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, boil the spaghetti in salted water until al dente per package directions, about 10 minutes, and warm the drained kidney beans.

  5. 5

    Pile spaghetti on plates, ladle the chili over the top, add beans, and finish with a big handful of shredded cheddar.
