Cincinnati Chili


© Melissa Ecton

I have lived in the Greater Cincinnati area my whole life and have grown up eating "Cincinnati Chili". For those of you who have never had this it is very interesting and delicious. Cincinnatians eat theirs on hotdogs topped with mustard, cheese and onion, or on top of cooked spaghetti topped with cheese, onions and beans (very well cooked pintos), called a five-way. There are numerous chili parlors in Cincinnati specializing in this chili and I think this recipe is just as good as many of those establishments.

2 pounds ground beef

½ tsp ground cumin

!/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)

1 tsp cinnamon
