Cincinnati Hubby's Cincinnati Chili image

My husband grew up in Cincinnati and he loves their special chili. It is different than other chilis, and is served over spaghetti. When you have a "three way" it is also topped with grated Cheddar cheese. A "four way" is also topped with lots of chopped yellow onions. A "five way" (no way, for my DH) adds cooked beans. I have tried many Cincinnati recipes, but DH always says - "Not as good as yours". Mine actually originally came from a cookbook I bought in Seattle. I think it tastes better the second day, although it will have a tad more HEAT to it the second day. Leftovers are great on "coneys" - as they call them in Cincinnati. Good quality hot dogs on buns, sprinkled with cheese and onions! Enjoy!
