I am looking for a copycat recipe for Cincinnati Chili (aka Greek chili). A friend of mine brought me a packet, which I lost, but it wasn't specific for ingredients anyway. She was only to find it in Kroger, and doesn't know the recipe either. It is boiled with the hamburger and usually served over spaghetti. IT IS DELICIOUS!!!!! I get good herbs relatively inexpensive at my bulk food section, so I would love to make my own "dry."
The way I have had Cincinnati chili is to just make your regular chili and put it over spaghetti and cover with cheddar cheese and onion if you prefer. It is delicious that way.
I love Cincinnati Chili too. We put it over angel hair spaghetti and cover it with shredded chedar cheese..ummm! Sister dear orders cans of it from a company in Cincinnati but here's a recipe I found on line... Anita from New Jersey
