Cincinnati Chili

Use the following ingredients:

4 large cloves garlic, pressed
2 large onions, chopped
1 qt. water
2 pounds ground beef
1 (16 oz) can tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 large bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 Hershey or other chocolate bars

Cooked spaghetti - enough for 6 servings.

In a large skillet, sauté the garlic and onions in vegetable oil or butter.  Add a cup of water until it is simmering.   Sauté the beef or you could boil it, if you're lazy.  Put in the tomatoes, vinegar, Worcestershire, the chocolate bars, and all of the spices.  Let simmer for 3 hours or so.

Serve the meat sauce on spaghetti, topped with cheese.  Follow that with onions to go four-way, add beans also to go with five-way, and top it all off with sour cream to go six-way.

Bon appetit!
