Imagine this on a cold night, the aroma running all through the house when you open the door from being outside. As you walk in, the house is cozy, and there is this big pot of chili sitting right there waiting for you.

This recipe is that easy. I put it in my crockpot on high for 4 hours and just let it simmer. Man, is it good!
When I was little, my dad took me on my first plane ride to Cincinnati. He had extra frequent flyer miles that were expiring, so we made a day of it. The memory of that day that stands out the most was the two of us going to Skyline Chili. I think of that day every time I have chili like this.
This is my attempt at recreating it. I put it over noodles (angel hair is best!), with lots of great toppings like:
- cheese
- diced onions
- Frank’s Hot Sauce (of course!)
- jalapenos
- sour cream
- corn chips
I served this last night to our community group at church and there was not one bit left–and I had doubled it! This recipe is the simplest ever, but it’s especially easy when you pop it into the crock pot. It’s great for entertaining too. Adding the spaghetti noodles stretches it to make it a pretty inexpensive meal for a group.

We moved to the Cincinnati area when I was in high school, and while I don’t care for Cincinnati style chili, I can tell you it contains chocolate and cinnamon. Yours sounds better to me.
I tried to print this and nearly used all my printer ink. The ‘print-friendly’ prints EVERYTHING, including ads, buttons, and everything else on this page. 12 PAGES! Maybe you could trim it down to just the recipe. Love your stuff, but I’ll have to go into debt just purchasing printer ink at this rate – LOL!
SB, I copied and pasted the recipe into my email, give me your email and I’ll forward it to you!
