Serve chili with a bread - it can be corn bread, tortilla chips, or even spaghetti. Of course, for authentic Cincinatti chili, it should be served over spaghetti.

Most of these recipes call for ground meat. You can also slow cook the meat until tender and then pull it apart with a fork.

Chili is often served with shreaded cheese, sour cream, diced yellow or green onions. Experiment until you find what you like best. Cheese and sour cream tend to be better with thicker chili.
