Vegetarian Coffee Chili Recipe
Cincinnati, Ohio is a city proud of its chili heritage. As per the local tradition, Cincinnati chili is uniquely spiced with cinnamon and chocolate, served on pasta and covered with pillowy cheddar cheese, onions, and beans. It is a favorite delicious indulgence for Cincinnatians.
We created an improvement over the original by adding ground coffee.
