Shaye`s Cincinatti Skyline Chili

2 pounds ground beef

3 cups water

1 can tomato sauce -- (15 oz)

1/4 teaspoon garlic power

2 bay leaves

1 medium onion -- chopped

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Mix ground beef and water until soupy. Mix in other ingredients. Simmer, unco vered 3 hours. Stir occasionally.

Note: Top with grated Cheddar, onions, chili beans or use as sauce over noodles or spaghetti.

The Cincinatti Chili is, would you believe, an alternative to spaghetti sauce. It`s mild and sweet (the cinnamon does that), and won`t burn anyone`s mouth un less you serve it boiling.
