Cincinnati Chili in "Baby, It's Cold Outside"

The delicious chili variation Cincinnati Chili is a key plot point in my Phaze HeatSheet Baby, It's Cold Outside, and I've just run across a fairly simple recipe which seems to retain the unique flavors of CC. What makes it different is the slightly sweet undertones of the chili, plus the fact that it's served over spaghetti, with several levels of toppings.

If you've never had it, I highly recommend giving it a taste. It hasn't replaced standard chili in my recipe repertoire, but is a delightful change that's particularly fun when you want something a little heartier, because of the pasta inclusion.

You might want to give it a go with this recipe from Cook's Country, which you can find here! As they say, don't forget the oyster crackers which are wonderful with it. Unfortunately I can't seem to find them up here in Nova Scotia, for some weird reason, but I continue to search!

Enjoy!
