Coney Island Chili

Snow means chili ... at least to me. This recipe was developed from one posted on the Kopykat.com site that was a copy of the chili from James Coney Islands in Texas. I thought Coney Island was in New York, but then I used to get hot dogs from the Coney Island Grill in Hanover Pennsylvania when I was a kid, so why not Texas too. This is a beanless chili that would be good as a topping, but I like it in a bowl so you get more of it. You could add beans if you are so inclined. This would make a good chili for a Cincinnati style chili meal, served over spaghetti with chopped onions and cheese on top, although Cincinnati chili traditionally has cinnamon and allspice in it.
