Shaye's Cincinatti Skyline Chili

Ingredients

2 pounds beef
3 cups water
1/4 teaspoon garlic
2 bay leaves
1 onion
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons allspice
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Mix ground beef and water until soupy. Mix in other ingredients. Simmer, unco vered 3 hours. Stir occasionally.

Note: Top with grated Cheddar, onions, chili beans or use as sauce over noodles or spaghetti.

The Cincinatti Chili is, would you believe, an alternative to spaghetti sauce. It's mild and sweet (the cinnamon does that), and won't burn anyone's mouth un less you serve it boiling.
