Copycat Cincinnati style Chili n Spaghetti Recipe

This recipe is copycat Skyline Chili recipe. I think this is a really good copycat version of the traditional Skyline Chili.  What is great about this recipe is that you can make it fresh and unprocessed which I love!  If you are from the Cincinnati, Ohio area you most likely grew up eating Skyline Chili. If you move away once you get "hooked" on this style of chili and can't find the canned version in the store then this is the recipe for you! It is easy to prepare and really satisfies your craving!
