Throw in some pasta and cheese and you are set.So my kids love pasta and chili. That is a good combination since we live in Cincinnati, home of a special kind of chili. We have lots of chili parlors in Cincinnati which were started by Greek immigrants years ago. Cincinnati chili is different from any other types of chili you might have had. It is typically made without beans, with a hint of cocoa and cinnamon in the spice blend. Slow Cooker Cincinnati Chili Mac is comfort food at its finest. Slow Cooked Chili with a Cincinnati flair! Throw in some pasta and cheese and you are set.The chili is served over spaghetti as a 3, 4 or 5 way. The 3 way is just spaghetti and chili topped with a huge portion of shredded cheese. The 4 way adds onions and a 5 way has all of the above, plus beans. It is also served on coneys. Small hot dogs on a steamed bun, with chili, cheese and onions! We love the stuff so I decided to make my own slow cooker recipe for an easy make at home treat. Yum!!Slow Cooker Cincinnati Chili Mac is comfort food at its finest.
