My Cincinnati Style Chili

If you are not familiar with Cincinnati style chili, you need to try this recipe.  I grew up in Kentucky, so we ate Cincinnati style chili.  I really didn’t know that there were other types of chili until I was an adult.  When I first served my chili to friends in Connecticut, they were really surprised to find spaghetti in the bowl.  The main difference you will find is that the chili is served over spaghetti.   Be sure and use thin spaghetti.  I like angel hair the best.  There are also some other amazing ingredients you will love.  The spices, besides the usual chili powder and cumin include: cloves, allspice, and cinnamon.  The best ingredient is the unsweetened dark chocolate.  The apple cider vinegar provides a nice twist. 

My Cincinnati style chili recipe has a few changes in it from the authentic Cincinnati Style Chili.  The best change is the beans which naturally help thicken the chili.  Give it a try!
