Yuck!! Too much of a cinnamon taste. Imagine chili with cinnamon in it. Will not make again.

This was a great way to use up some home-made chili, so I used my own recipe and then topped the ziti with it. I always add cinnamon to my chili, so I didn't find it unusual that this recipe called for it. It was interesting that the same children that would not eat the chili in the bowl the night before, ate lots of it when it had noodles underneath.
