Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili » Chili without Beans

Here is how to make Incredible Cincinnati Chili-2-Way, 3-Way, 4-Way, and 5-Way. This is not your "Texas-Style" chili, but rather a regional dish that is well-known and loved in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, and the surrounding states. The recipe was originated by a Greek immigrant, Tom Kiradjieff in 1922. He called the dish "spaghetti chili," and added a Middle Eastern flavor to the dish. Since that time, the recipe has had many revisions and versions, This is the version that is popular in the area where I live. It sounds unusual--but most people love it!
