My mom hailed from Louisville, KY and this is their version of chili. Some serve the spaghetti under the chili, but others add it in. Either way, it's delicious on a cold winter night. For company, we have "build a chili" and add guacamole, cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions and black olives. Whatever your passion, this will soon be your go-to comfort food.
