Vegan Cincinnati Chili

Vegan Cincinnati Chili is my take on the dish made famous by Skyline Chili.

While I have never had Skyline Chili, I remember eating a similar concoction made by my grandfather.  Basically, it's a saucy chili with beans that you put over spaghetti noodles and top with cheddar cheese.

Instead of using meatless crumbles, I used lentils as a replacement for the ground beef.  I also used a soy cheese in place of the cheddar to make it vegan.
