Skyline Chili is a Cincinnati staple that has been open since 1949! In this video, I'm making a very accurate copycat recipe of their chili, then cooking up two Skyline Coneys on my Wildfire Griddle wildfireoutdoorliving.com/gri...
Skyline Chili (With My Adjustments)
Prepare at least one day before use for best results.
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground beef heart (or substitute ground beef)
Water (to cover)
15 ounces tomato paste
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 ½ tsp salt (I adjusted to taste after simmering for 2 hours)
1 ¾ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tbs apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
7 tsp Fleischmann's instant dry yeast
1 tbsp + 1 tsp Brewer's/Nutritional yeast
1 tbsp + 1 tsp unsweetened cacao powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 3/8 tsp paprika
1 tbsp + 1 tsp allspice
1 5/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 ¼ tsp ground clove
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp black pepper
Place ground meat in a large pot and cover with cold water. Whisk meat until it is broken up into a slurry, then add tomato paste and tomato sauce. Turn the heat to medium-high and simmer until the meat turns gray. At this point, add the rest of the ingredients and adjust the heat to a low simmer with no lid; after two hours of simmering, taste and adjust the ingredients as necessary. Allow to cool and refrigerate until you are ready to reheat and use.

I couldn't find it in a pinch. Absolutely the best chili dogs I have had in a long time. My toppings were grated white sharp cheddar, diced yellow onion, and thin sliced jalapeno. JUST WOW 11 out of 10 would recommend!! Thank you for this one Greg. Happy cooking!!!!

Greg, I live in Columbus, OH and live maybe 10 minutes from a Skyline restaurant. I've been eating their food for years! I've tried duplicating their recipe with what I find online and something always seemed missing. I saw a video from Food Wishes about chili and he used cocoa powder. I tried that in the Skyline recipes I had and that was it! I will say this about Skyline now with their dogs: Their dogs are about 1/2 the length and 1/2 the width of normal hot dogs (more like lil smokies on steroids). This is a great video. My son loves Skyline so now I can make it for him!

Cheese is always at its best at room temperature. You nailed it with the spices. Mine are just more intense. Including the cocao powder. I even put it in Texas chili con carne.

Worked at a Skyline Chili in my hometown of Middletown, Ohio during my senior year of HS in 1998. Looks like you nailed it. Blue Grass Meats was their hotdog supplier, but Nathan's are close and I pretty much always have them in the fridge. I never got any privileged info on the chili recipe, but I recognize you've done your homework. We cooked the dogs on a flat top and steamed the buns and made a great point of keeping those heaping mounds of Wisconsin cheddar tall and cold so they could melt at the table or in the takeaway box and have that lovely contrast.

The only things I’d add are, if you’re buying ground beef from the typical grocery, there’s no need to grind it again at home as long as you mash it well in the water, and the cheddar cheese from Skyline is a pretty fine grate.

Grew up in a Greek restaurant, that uami taste that you got might have been beef bouillon, dissolved after the meat starts to boil. The yeast ingredient could be just bread crumbs or a dough slurry used for tightening up the chilli ?? I can't see the nutritional yeast.... never seen tomato paste used without browning it..... Which also adds umami. At least this is what I remember my Dad using to Chef up recipes. But your the expert!! Love your vids! Btw never had skyline chili and I'm from Chicago..... So there's that. You're probably spot on as usual!

@clintweathers4755 27 күн бұрын

I thought it was called a "Greek" style dog because the inventors of a few of those rust belt sauces were Greek cooks. Like Gust Keros in Detroit, John Mitsos and George Papazekos in Northwest PA, Nick Sarakatsannis in CIncy, etc. They all invented those meatsauces with the strong cumin smell to em. A little different from Skyline though since most of them didn't have that slight cinnamon background in it; if it's in there I never noticed. Also tended to be spicier, peppery. When I lived in Cleveland you could get them on footlongs, tasty stuff.

Nice detail on this cook. I've long heard of the Beef Heart component in Cincy/Skyline chili. I've not been able to get Beef Heart. I really want to try it out. The Coca Powder I have heard plenty of times. I don't recall it being listed as an ingredient on the cans available online. I will have to give this recipe a try without the Beef Heart. Wienerschnitzel makes a great Chili Dog or Coney. At least they did in the early 80's when I lived in the LA area. Would be nice to see your take on Wienerschnitzel. I know you have made Tommy's Chili before. Would be nice to see a redo on a hot dog.

As a Cincinnati area resident and being familiar with skyline the appearance of what you made looks pretty darn close to what you get at the restaurant . Nice work. Obviously not a good bowl of regular chili to eat but it's wonderful stuff on a 3,4,or 5 way or chili dog. Ive never tried to make it but it does seem mysterious to replicate at home. Funny fact is they have a handful of locations around south Florida as well for the snowbirds in the winter.

I'm sure it makes its way into some home recipes but it's not typically in most restaurant versions including Skyline specifically. I know natural flavors has a lot of leeway, but I don't think you'll find chocolate on any of the ingredient lists of the consumer Cincinnati products (i.e. cans, pouches, frozen or spice mixes.)

Their saying "chocolate" isn't an ingredient. Cacao is one of the raw ingredients used to make chocolate. I'm sticking to what I smelled and tasted and the immediate change to the recipe once I added the cacao. Basically, not giving up a secret ingredient without feeling like you're lying.

Don't even understand why anyone would need to copycat this. It not expensive and its widely available through Kroger and Amazon. Making a Skyline "Cheese Coney" (they're Cheese conies, not chili dogs) is easy: Get a pack of hot dogs like Oscar Mayer or Kahns and cook them any way you like, put the cook dogs on a hot dog bun, open and heat up a can of Skyline Chile then pour 1-2 tablespoons on each Coney, and then add some mustard if you like, some finely chopped onion, then top with some finely grated pre-packaged cheddar. It could not be easier.

@Bearhawkeye 27 күн бұрын

Mostly agree but I'd add the mustard to the hotdog before the chili. Also the video mentions a chili-cheese which is distinct from a cheese coney, but it is a real thing (basically a cheese coney with cheese on the bun rather than a hotdog and known as a chili-cheese sandwich.)

Believe it or not America isn’t the only country. It’s cheaper to copycat the recipe than buy online where I’m from.

When youj've had Cincinnati chili on pasta -- especially spaghetti -- you'll never be satisfied with chili dogs.

Tbh, Europeans get annoyed at anyone who claims to validate a food culture not based on their notion of what it should be. Best to just ignore them and their narrow views...

Skyline does NOT put cocoa powder in their chili! There are many YT videos with Skyline and other chili parlors, almost all do NOT use cocoa! Also, the chili that comes in a packet, tastes much different than this skyline chili at the restaurants!

A Cincy news station saying it’s a myth that there is cocoa in Cincinnati chili! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldSneK-Dna6UloE.htmlsi=Uys5EpgZiUHavSp6

Of course you're making a copy of a copy. The canned or bag Skyline isn't the same as in the store. Come to Cincinnati and try the real thing.

Copycat cooking is the best I've worked at a couple of restaurants and i've looked at copycat videos and i've yet to see one that comes close to the quality that's expected from either of the restaurants that i've worked at

I really wish you would eat at Coney-I-Lander next time you're in Tulsa. My treat and then you can share it with the world.
