10 Cincinnati Chile
Coming from the most chili-mad city in the United States after Texas, Cincinnati chili is a popular dish made with ground meat, stock, and unusual spices such as cinnamon, allspice, Worcestershire sauce, and chocolate or cocoa. The chili is usually served over pasta such as spaghetti, then topped with a flavorful combination of shredded Cheddar, fried beans, onions, and crushed oyster crackers.
With more than 180 chili joints in the city, Cincinnati takes great pride in being a chili capital. The dish was invented in 1922 by a Macedonian immigrant called Tom Kiradjieff. He opened a Greek restaurant called The Empress, which was a total failure until Tom started to serve chili prepared with Middle Eastern spices.

"American Goulash' #8 on the other hand looks disgusting.
Why bother compiling a list? Just take any 10 random entrees from Olive garden
looks like my dinner
i call it chili mac
As a person of Hungarian heritage, and having been served “AMERICAN GOULASH” when I was in college, all I can truthfully say about that dish is: DON’T CALL IT GOULASH ( there actually are 7 different kinds of Hungarian goulash and even the worst of the versions...veal and veal with another meat, is superior in every way! ) and NEVER make nor eat this crap! It’s disgusting, vile, unappetizing to even look at, let alone smell! B-A-R-F TO THE NTH DEGREE!
Most of these sound really good and about half I have had. I’ve had American Goulash before, but I am not motivated to make it. I haven’t had the dish with sea urchins. I’d try that in a heartbeat. Uni is my favorite sushi. I make pasta e alici about once a month. It’s inexpensive and very quick to make, especially when I make it because I almost always use leftover pasta. Yeah, that’s heresy to Italians, but leftovers need to be used.
So that is what the beans and noodles dish is actually called.
Been eating it for years.
Or Cheesecake Factory.
Lose the breadcrumbs, add garlic, capers and black olives and you pretty much have puttanesca, which is delicious. Serve with warm Italian bread and a salad and oh, baby!
When I was a little kid in elementary school they had an abominable dish they called “Beef-A-Roni.” And of course all the kids called it “barf-a-roni” because it was so absolutely disgusting. I think it was just the lunch lady mixed all the old uneaten garbage from the past month mixed with some elbow noodles and a few gallons of tomato sauce. Our school food was always horrific so I always brown bagged it.
I can’t believe chicken riggies made that list.
Must be how they make it because it really is a good dish.
“The neat round spaghetti you can eat with a spoon;
Uh Oh, Spaghetti-O”s!”
Me too. Didn't think I would like it when I first moved there ( chili on spaghetti, ughh) but is actually quite good. Who can't love this :
Naporitan sounds disgusting and can go to hell.
I love Japanese food, but holy cow. What a bastardization of spaghetti and marinara.
I imagine that dish would taste good with shrimp.
One of the few dishes my first instinct was to spit out. Yeah, I wasn’t popular, growing up in Ohio. LOL. I’ve eaten a lot of bizarre things and combinations, but I think I’d taste haggis before ordering Cincinnati chili again. I figured someone came up with it after a long night and “last call.”
I couldn’t figure out what my co-workers were talking about when they described “goulash” with ground beef and noodles.
I had always made it with cubed beef, paprika, and sour cream.
When someone finally brought it in, I found it was so similar what we always called mostaccioli.
It was good, but nothing like goulash.
When I was 7 years old, our elementary school started serving lunch and we were all expected to eat there. At first, they let the kids bring bagged lunch from home, but then decided no.
I would get within 30, 40 feet from he lunchroom and get nauseous from the smell.
Without really thinking about it, the next day I marched the ten blocks or so home from school at lunchtime and knocked on the door. Fortunately, my mother was home. She gave me one of the meatballs she had been cooking.
That was the end of that cafeteria for me. From then on I went to the house of a relative who lived near the school at lunchtime. My mother must have gotten special permission.
I would rather skip lunch then eat the garbage served to us in public school.
I LOVE pasta but avoid it because of the carbs. But....when I had Covid I saw a Campbell’s soup commercial and began craving one of their recipes: Pasta, Cream of Chicken Soup, chicken and peas or broccoli florets. (I modified their version). I lived off this for 7-8 days. I craved it and still do to this day. It’s amazing how hungry I was with Covid and a 103 degree temperature!
