  • Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, about 15 minutes before the chili finishes, cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the package.
  • Divide the cooked spaghetti among 8 plates. Ladle chili over the top of the cooked spaghetti. Top with 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese (per plate).
  • Serve hot.
