Only 1/2 tsp, you'd never guess the cinnamon was in there! But... it will change tha flavor.
Chewer... shhh, about secret Cincinnati Chili stuff! They keep that behind locked vaults for a reason.
Joe, now that is a smart idea!
And Chewer... you a wise cookie! Just one of the many reasons I can think of is that you never know when you might be offered a Buffalo Wing w/ no celery! Blue cheese is kinda hard to keep in your pocket so U gotta take your chinces w/ that. :~*#@

A wee bit of chocolate. Maybe the equivalent of 1/3 - 1/2 of one of those squares of baker's chocolate to a 4 qt crockpot.
No tomatoes ever. Toasted, then soaked, then pureed and strained chiles, mostly New Mexico but whatever else I can get my hands on too. I live in an area with a large Hispanic population and so have access to all kinds of different chiles. I love some chipotle chile in my chili too.
When the sauteed veggies of whatever kind are almost done, sprinkle the cumin in too and let it saute a bit.
I'm going to try the pinch of cinnamon next time I make chili, that does sound good. Maybe an even smaller pinch of clove too.

How about that. I just knew there was another use for my Dunkin' Donuts coffee that I hadn't thought of.

I'll have to think on the cinnamon for a while, though.

Ketchup & most all BBQ sauces have cinnamon in them. If a BBQ place adds cinnamon in their dry rub or to their sauce to the point I can taste it, then it's heat burn time for me. .... I don't have to think about it, I don't like cinnamon add to my BBQ or chilli.

Hot sauce or concentrated chile oils work for heat.
I used to use a drop or two of Dave's Insanity for heat. Then I realized I liked the taste of the chile powders better without the added heat.
I think what makes my chili taste good is that I use lard to brown the meat and I always take the pan off the heat when I add the chile powders. They scorch easily and that can ruin the taste of the entire dish.
