When we lived in Cincinnati one of our favorite places to eat was Skyline Chili. They call this version 5-way because it's got chili, beans, noodles, onion, and cheese. Of course, there was nothing like that in the South, so when our church started having a chili cook-off to raise money for the senior mission trip, we combined several recipes to create our own version.
