Wendy's Chili

Cincinnati Chili
3 cups cold water
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic granulated or powder
1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate
4 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ***in
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 bay leaves
1 (6-ounce) can of tomato paste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

METHOD
In a large, 6-quart Dutch oven or stewpot, place water and ground beef. Stir vigorously to break up the meat. It will become quite thick, but do not add any more water!
Add onion, garlic, chocolate, chili, allspice, cinnamon, ***in, cloves, salt, bay leaves, tomato paste and vinegar. Place on high heat to bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce to a hard simmer.
Cover and cook for 1 hour and 40 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or so. Remove cover and cook 20 minutes more (2 hours total cooking time).
Serves 6 to 8 people.

Thank you very much. What I like to do is go to Wendy's and buy some chili. I then cook some linguini and put the chili on that. I add mexican mix cheese on top and three packs of wendy's chili sauce. It is my take on cincinatti chili. Have you ever heard of that Bushman? I would love some good Cincinatti Chili recipes if you have ever cooked one. I have tried some off internet but they weren't that good.

Also is there any kind of premade hot chili oil sauce you can buy in the store that tastes like wendy's. Thank you.

Home made Chilli Oil
Chilli oil is probably the simplest way to add a bit of flavour (not to mention heat) to virtually any dish. You can either use it to cook with in place of normal olive oil, or simply drizzle some over freshly prepared dishes. It will liven up any dish but it is particularly good on pizzas and pasta.
Ingredients:
Olive oil
Dried red chillies
Malt Vinegar
Method:
Take a handful of dried red chillies. About 7 or 8 medium size chillies should do the job - it all depends how hot you like it!. Add them to a pan of hot malt vinegar and simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure all the chillies are submerged.
After 10 minutes remove the chillies and allow the vinegar to drain off by placing on some kitchen roll. Next, add the chillies to a pan of olive oil and gently heat (don?t bring to the boil for about 5 minutes). Leave the pan and the chillies to cool then add the lot into a nice glass bottle, preferably one with a pouring spout.Chilli oil is used extensively in Asian cooking. For a more authentic flavour when used in Asian dishes olive oil probably isn?t the best choice. Simply replace the olive oil in the above recipe for peanut or good vegetable oil.
A word of caution:
Simply dumping a load of fresh chillies into a bottle of oil is not a great idea as it can result in botulism which to cut a long story short is a nasty which can in some very rare cases be fatal!
Unfortunately simply boiling the oil won't reduce the risk. The way round this is to reduce the PH level of the chillies before putting them in thew oil. This is achieved in the above recipe by first boiling the chillis for ten minutes in venegar. In order to further reduce the risk I always use dried chillies, not fresh.
