History
Realizing the popularity of chili in the United States, Tom and John Kiradjieff, two immigrant restaurateurs from Macedonia, created this version of chili to appeal to their American clientele. The latter first served chili in hot dogs but over time they began to serve it on pasta with or without a garnish. It is now the most popular dish served in restaurants in the area.
The recipe
When the meat is fatty, it is best to cook the chili the day before so that you can degrease it before serving. Cooking requires very little attention except to stir the meat well in the water at the first step. Then simply add all the ingredients and simmer over very low heat.
The garnish
Here are 5 different ways to serve the chili. When customer order they specify which way the desire. In my family we like it 5 way.
1 way: served as is without garnish
2 way: served on spaghetti
3 way : served on spaghetti and topped with cheddar cheese
4 way : served on spaghetti and topped with cheddar cheese and red beans
5 way: : served on spaghetti and topped with cheddar cheese, red beans and raw chopped onions
