I have been seeing recipes for Cincinnati chili popping up in various places, so I thought I would give it a try. Very meaty and unusually spiced (allspice, cloves, cinnamon and cumin), plus a different approach: no sauteeing or browning: you just dump everything in and simmer (I used the Instatn Pot). I thought it was good, but it turned out to be one of the few things Carter really didn't like. I think he was experiencing cognitive dissonance: it didn't look or taste like  our usual version of chili, plus you eat it over spaghetti (with cheddar and chopped onions for garnish). So I would call this only a partial success.
