If you're from Cincinnati you already know about this famous chili.

Its unique flavor makes it a totally different chili from traditional

recipes. One story I have heard is that it is the creation of a

Macedonian immigrant, which would explain why you sometimes see it as

Greek Chili. It is also served in different ways. You can have 2-way

(chili, spaghetti), 3-way (chili, spaghetti, onions), 4-way (chili,

spaghetti, onions, cheese), or 5-way (chili, spaghetti, onions,

cheese and beans). We have substituted the ground beef with soy

crumbles, and it works great!

 

Add olive oil to a large (4-6 quart) pot over medium heat. Add onions

and crumbles to heat. Add rest of ingredients, except water. Stir to

mix spices thoroughly. Add water. Bring to boil and simmer for 2

hours or until thickened. Stir occasionally. Remove bay leaves before

serving. Makes 10 cups of sauce.
