With the colder weather around the corner, chili turns into a favorite dish in this house. I am always looking to try something that is a little different so I decided to change things up a little bit and put this Cincinnati Chili Recipe on the menu.
This is not like regular chili; unlike a lot of Chili recipes, this recipe does not require a lot of cooking time; you can have it on the table in less than an hour.
Another feature of Cincinnati Chili is that instead of being served in a bowl, it is served on a plate over spaghetti, topped with shredded cheese, and beans. This recipe is served over pasta so you can pretty much top it with any sort on condiments you choose.
If you like chili and want to try a chili recipe that’s a little different, give this Cincinnati Chili Recipe a try.
