This recipe came from Mark, and he likes things spicy. If he says the heat sneaks up on you, rest assured it will! He makes this when they run sled dog races in Michigan with his Tamaskan dog and the team; he says he added to his original idea of Cincinnati Chili and that putting it on top of spaghetti or rice is fine, as well as adjusting the ingredients to your personal preference (example, we used Busch's vegetarian beans for my daughter)

yield 8 serving(s)
method Slow Cooker Crock Pot

    Note: I can't handle spicy very well, and definitely needed both cheese and sour cream, along with my typical cornbread crumbled on top!

    This was easy to make vegetarian for my daughter in a small crockpot with the changes I put above. However, the texture was a little strange/off, so we added rice to keep it from being sticky.
