Cincinnati Style Chili in Virginia

Cincinnati Style Chili is not what I consider chili. To be chili a dish must have beans! That is my simple and narrow minded definition. This is what I would call spaghetti sauce...whatever the name..it is fantastic.
This recipe traveled from Cincinnati via a LDS missionary to Logan, Utah. I was lucky enough to be roommates with that wonderful return missionary after finishing school at Utah State University. I now remember her every time I make it. This recipe will travel from Ohio to Utah to Virginia and on its way to Arizona!!

Add all ingredients but beef and onions to the crockpot.

Saute meat and onions till brown.

Add meat to sauce.

Turn to low and cook 4-5 hours. Serve on bed of spaghetti with grated cheese on top.

I found a fun person on the web, Debbie. She has a crockpot Wednesday post. This is my favorite crockpot recipe. Being computer challenged I still haven't been able to add her link button to my side bar. But, I will join in her fun on occasion with my crockpot journeys.
