Notes

- How to eat Cincinnati Style Chili? Serve the chili over cooked, buttered spaghetti noodles, topped with shredded cheese.
- A great substitute for shredded cheddar cheese is Colby Jack cheese.
- If desired, top with diced, raw onions which is another classic topping.
- I like to chop up the peeled, whole tomatoes before adding the other ingredients. I either use my clean hands to gently break them up, or I use a meat chopper like this one.
- If desired, stir in some butter to the cooked spaghetti noodles before serving.
