Skyline Chili

I use to eat something similar when I was a waitress in college minus the meat sauce. So when I found this recipe on Delicious Meliscious blog I knew I had to make it. I made it vegetarian and to half the recipe. Also even though I halved the recipe it still makes a ton, thankfully it freezes well. To see the orginal recipe and to check out Melissa's great blog click this link: http://deliciousmeliscious.blogspot.com/.

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate squares
