Cincinnati chili is a Mediterranean spiced meat sauce used as a topping for spaghetti or hot dogs often covered in shredded cheese. It was developed in the 1920s by immigrant restauranteurs in Cincinnati and has remained a famous local dish to this day.
For our kosher version we left out the cheese, although you can try adding a good vegan cheese if you desire. The meat sauce cooks for several hours to develop the depth of flavor perfect for your next game day party.
