Step 1
Brown turkey over medium heat and crumble it as it cooks.
Step 2
Add onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Push to side and add chili powders, oregano, allspice, and paprika. Cook for a minute or so until spices are toasted. You will smell them.
Step 3
Add can of tomatoes, cocoa, onion soup mix, ketchup, mustard and Frank’s hot sauce. Let simmer a few minutes until liquid has disappeared by about half.
Step 4
Stir in can of beans. Now stir in water and let simmer about 10 minutes. It should still look like a thick gravy but not be so thick as to not have liquid. If you let it sit a bit too long and it gets too thick just add a little more water. It can take it!
Step 5
Mix ingredients together and shake or stir until sugar dissolves.
Step 6
Place a serving of pasta on a plate. Top with several spoonfuls of chili. Spread the chili with 1 T of BBQ sauce or to taste.
Step 7
Top with some spoonfuls of diced onion and then the grated cheddar. Feel free to use the Parmesan out of a can. And just for good measure I topped my chili off with a few pepperoncini slices, but you could use jalapenos. If you like saltines-go for it! Crumble a package of oyster crackers on top or some Saltines straight from the cellophane!
