Before you start

Start the chili before the spaghetti so the pasta can go straight from the pot to the plate. Break the beef into fine crumbles for a sauce that coats the noodles.

Directions

Cook the beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat for 7 to 9 minutes, breaking the meat into fine crumbles.
Once the onion is soft and the beef reaches 160°F, stir in the garlic, chili powder, cinnamon, and cocoa for 30 seconds.
Add the tomato sauce, broth, and Worcestershire. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in boiling water according to the package directions, then drain.
Divide the spaghetti among plates. Spoon over the thickened chili and finish with cheddar.
