Nearly Cincinnati Chili

Cincinnati Skyline Chili was a regular family meal growing up in the Midwest. Mine is "nearly" the same because I'm not too fond of chili powder, which is used heavily in true Skyline Chili. I substitute minced jalapeño peppers. If you'd prefer the authentic version, leave out the jalapeños and add 1/4 cup chili powder.
