For an even more authentic Cincinnati chili experience, consider using a food processor to finely grind the cooked beef before adding it to the pot. This will create a smoother, more sauce-like consistency. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste if you like a spicier chili. Refrigerating the chili overnight allows the flavors to meld and deepen, resulting in an even richer and more complex taste.
