I wanted to make something to represent the NFL team we were playing this week...and, immediately, Cincinnati's chili came to mind. Apparently, it's traditionally a very mild, sweet and spiced chili but without the heat southern chilis often pack. Read more ...and, it's served over spaghetti...
Ingredients:

2lb ground meat(beef, venison, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, all can prolly be used....i used venison, as i do with our chili)

3 cloves garlic, minced

28ish oz tomato sauce
1t red wine vinegar
1t worcestershire sauce

3t chili powder
1-2t cinnamon
3t cumin
1t celery powder
1t quality paprika(i used smoked)
1/2-1t red pepper flakes
1/2t cayenne(it was tough to not use more, but this is only meant to have a very slight heat..so use your judgment)
1t cocoa
kosher or sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
for serving
1lb spaghetti
1 large can chili beans
8oz colby or cheddar cheese, shredded
green or red onions, onions
