Cincinnati Chili is a unique regional dish combining chili and spaghetti.
It’s seasoned with a distinctive blend of spices like cinnamon, allspice, and cocoa.
The chili is typically served over a bed of spaghetti or hot dogs.
A key feature is its thick, aromatic sauce, which is meat-based but without beans.
Toppings include shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onions, and kidney beans.
It’s often served with a side of oyster crackers for added crunch.
The dish is traditionally called a "3-Way" when served with just chili, cheese, and spaghetti.
A "4-Way" adds onions, and a "5-Way" includes beans.
Cincinnati Chili is a must-try comfort food that captures the essence of regional American flavors.
