Traditional Cincinnati Chili Recipe - Food.com

"I got this recipe from a college friend who grew up right outside of Cincinnati. The original recipe calls for twice as much ground beef and no beans..."

INGREDIENTS
1 quart water
1 lb raw ground beef
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans kidney beans, undrained (pinto beans are fine too)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar (red wine vinegar works too)
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice (I tend to use closer to a full tsp. because I love it)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
cooked spaghetti
shredded cheddar cheese
