Cincinnati Hubby's Cincinnati Chili

"My husband grew up in Cincinnati and he loves their special chili. It is different than other chilis, and is served over spaghetti. When you have a "three way" it is also topped with grated Cheddar cheese. A "four way" is also topped with lots of chopped yellow onions. A "five way" (no way, for my DH) adds cooked beans. I have tried many Cincinnati recipes, but DH always says - "Not as good as yours". Mine actually originally came from a cookbook I bought in Seattle. I think it tastes better the second day, although it will have a tad more HEAT to it the second day. Leftovers are great on "coneys" - as they call them in Cincinnati. Good quality hot dogs on buns, sprinkled with cheese and onions! Enjoy!"

  1. This was good, I have to change my way of thinking while eating it... To me it is spaghetti since I put beans in my chili, but is more savory than a spagheti sauce. Whatever it is called, it is good!! Made as is, but did cut back just a little on hot chili powder and Tabasco sauce (put about 1/2) since none of can 'take the heat'. Both DH and 4 yr old DS had seconds so that is a big plus!! Will make again!! Made for PAC Spring 2010.
