This recipe was a real winner in our house. I did add a bit of cocoa powder, and used chicken broth in place of the water, and it turned out delicious, with real depth of flavor. Thanks for posting!

This is really good. I served it over thin spaghetti with cheese. I threw the leftover chili in the freezer and pulled it out two weeks later. Thanks so much for sharing! :O)

Missing a few ingredients to be considered authentic Cincinnati style chili. My girlfriend worked for Skyline Chili for a few years. Add Nutmeg, Cocoa, Worcestershire Sauce. Needs some taken out too.Take out Oregano, Thyme, Basil....not to mention the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce (these two give it a tart flavor it shouldn't have). It should have been tomato paste instead with plain water. For a regular chili recipe it's pretty decent though.

Sue, You have a real husband pleaser in this one! My DH raved on and on during dinner how this was even better than Hard Times Cafe (his favorite cincinnati chili place!) I laughingly asked him how many stars should I give it and raised 7 fingers...it would have been ten but he was holding a piece of bread. Hee Hee....He also said what he like best about it was that it wasn't the heat that you tasted, it was all the flavors exploding your mouth. This is a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing.
