Lauren's Cincinnati Chili image

I have searched far and wide for a recipe that compares to Goldstar or Skyline chili, to no avail. Finally, I took a number of decent recipes and blended them together with the help of a former Goldstar Chili employee. It's still not the same, but it feeds my cravings. The most important things about the chili is how you prepare the beef and the cinnamon and chocolate. I recommend refrigerating the chili overnight. It always tastes better the next day.

It was okay. Nothing special. Likely won't make it again as written.

This chili is okay. It's not bad, but it's not the best Cincinnati chili I've ever had.
