This spicy chili is not your momma's, unless she's from Cincinnati, Ohio! It is served over pasta and there is cinnamon and chocolate in it! This is GOOOOD comfort food for a cold day. This is the next best thing to sampling the original in Cincy!

I got one just like this posted but there are a few things different. I've tried it with the chocolate and I like it without it.
But there is NOTHING like Cincinnati Chili. I have family from out of town that stop at GoldStar or Skyline as soon as they get here, even before seeing us. I also have to make a big pot of mine cincinnati chili for them to take home. I've given the recipe but they say it doesn't taste the same unless it's made here. I think their just lazy and don't want to make it theirselves.LOL!!

Love this. Not quite spicy enough for me-but I do the cinnamon and chocolate. Nice recipe. Thanks.

I'll definitely have to try this! Right now, I order the Skyline Chili seasoning packets over the internet because I don't have an authentic recipe. Thanks!
