5 - WAY CHILI 
1 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. barbecue sauce
1 c. water
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. pepper
1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans, heated
1 lb. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, grated
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
9 oz. cooked and buttered spaghetti
2 chopped onions

These ingredients for layers.

Brown meat, 1 chopped medium onion and garlic. Drain fat. Add barbecue sauce and water. Bring to boil. Add remaining spices. Cover and simmer over very low heat 1/2 hour stirring occasionally. (This sauce is even better if made 1 day ahead.) To construct the dish, layer spaghetti, top with chili sauce, add a sparse layer of beans. Then layer onions. Pat on grated cheese. Serve immediately with oyster crackers on the side.
