5-Way Plain Ol' Chili ❤️
This was my lovely dinner last night. Served with a moat of air fried cauliflower.
I *think* it was @plantbasedspoonie that made a lentil Cincinnati chili not long ago. Actual Cincinnati-style chili like hers is way warmer and more automatic with more fun spices. It would be even better in this dish, but I wanted to make a no frills, basic chili in general. I couldn't shake the thought of combining it with my current favorite plant-based low fat, tangy fun cheese sauce. Then I decided to take what I had and make it like a Cincinnati chili is served. 🙌
Oh, and if you're not familiar with the "ways" of Cincinnati chili, I'm just going to pull this from the web (Allrecipes) since I always need to look it up:
2-Way: Chili + spaghetti
3-Way: Chili + spaghetti + shredded Cheddar cheese
4-Way: Chili + spaghetti + diced onions + shredded Cheddar cheese
5-Way: Chili + spaghetti + red kidney beans + diced onions + shredded Cheddar cheese.
Since my chili is bean'd up, I'm calling this 5-Way 😋 Sorry, purists ☺️
Oh, and that amount of plant-based medium cheddar cheesy sauce has less than 1 tbsp cashews in it, and it really ties the dish together!
