It’s always treacherous attempting an iconic, regional specialty like Cincinnati-style chili, especially when you’ve never actually had the “real thing.” People are very protective of these types of dishes, and any variance from what they think the recipe should be is met with a visceral condemnation. On the other hand, the food Gods hate a coward, and so I made it anyway.

@eliterecipesource9646 4 жыл бұрын

@@theart8039 Well, fortunately it's just simmered as opposed to boiled. To counteract the lack of browning, what the Skyline brand of Cincinnati chili does at their factory is they use a lot of yeast in their (secret) recipe which adds that umami flavor that is missed out on from putting the meat directly in water. The reason for the direct-to-water method is to get a fine consistency; no way around it. This is a recipe that attempts to reverse-engineer Skyline's recipe and procedure: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aayld9GhtJuVhZc.html

And indeed, the questionmark behind every sentence makes it a little bit awkard. He goes from pitch high to the exact same low tone every sentence, and his sentences are short as if he is reading an autocue. What matters is the food, though and I forgive it. But to be honest I rather don't be as distracted on his way of speaking so I can focus on what he says and how he makes it. But to each their own. It is always better than complete monotone.

Note to Australian fans: American chili powder is very different from Australian chili powder. Aussie stuff is straight up dried chili and VERY hot. Using 1/4 cup of Aussie chili powder will create a meat sauce so hot that maybe three people on the planet will be able to eat it. However, it is easy to mix an American style chili powder - just give it a google. Usually has paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, etc. and is much milder. Or you can buy "Mexican Chili Powder" (ironic) which will run you around $3 or so just for this recipe as you will use the whole jar.

Kneeludog37 How much chocolate does she add? My husband loves cincy chili and I’ve read where one establishment uses choc where another one doesn’t. We’re from Ohio and I’ve had it once. Shocked to see the beans were on their own and the MOUND of cheese. I hope you will reply so I can make for hubby. Thanks

Went to see the Reds play a few years ago when we were in town. Had the chance to get the usual hot dog and beer while there but someone had told us to look up the "Skyline Chili" vendor, so we did. Have to admit, it was one of the most unusual culinary experiences we have ever had, eating a bowl of this at a ball park, but trust me, it was well worth living through the strangeness. Meat chili piled atop a mountain of spaghetti noodles with grated cheddar cheese and hot sauce? To die for! We live in Upstate NY and we regularly make this dish at home as part of our regular rotation of meals. You MUST try this, either in Cincy or just wing it at home. Nots sure why it's called Skyline Chili, but whatever, it's delicious!

@AJtheory - The best, easiest Chili Mac I've found is to make two boxes of Velveeta Shells & Cheese, and mix one regular can of Hormel into it. Toss a little minced yellow onion on top (and maybe a little super sharp grated cheddar); great for cold winter meals. (If you do one box/one can, all you taste is the chili.)

@stevek917 4 жыл бұрын

Texas chili and Cincinnati chili are two completely different things. Only the name is the same. Cincinnati "chili" is a meat sauce. While you could eat Cincinnati chili by itself in bowl that would be unusual. Texas chili is meant to be eaten that way. Cincinnati chili is a sauce and should go over spaghetti, or a hot dog, or something. I grew up in Cincinnati and lived many years in Texas and I love both "chili's".

@travispaskiewicz2663 4 жыл бұрын

This was served at a small restaurant my grand parents would frequent as a kid. We didn't have a name for it, so we just named it after the restaurant. "The Red Lion Special". It's been the better half of two decades since my grand parents passed, and the restaurant shut down during the recession shortly after. So I can't wait to craft this, and get a mouthful of memories. And beef. Tons of beef!
