It doesn't matter if you prefer Skyline or Gold Star when it comes to making Cincinnati chili at home.

Serve this chili over spaghetti or hot dogs topped with a mound of cheese, onions, and beans.

Reviewers say you can top it with other things like jalape?os, olives, green onions, and shredded lettuce to add more flavors.
