"This is the real deal...lots of spices in the sauce, which is typically served over spaghetti and topped with cheddar cheese and/or onions. Great for football fare, cold winter days or just hungry appetites! Don't remember where this recipe originated...it may be yet another that is a combination of several I tried over the years."

"It wasn't anything close to cinti chili." It was more like a cinnimon roll. I spent Almost $12 on carmondon. I'm an old man and I grew up in cinti. and have had most of all of them,Price Hill ,Norwood etc, over the years. Skyline and Empress are the best, Gold Star is right up there too.
