Directions
Traditional Cincinnati Chili, I got this recipe from a college friend who grew up right outside of Cincinnati. The original recipe calls for twice as much ground beef and no beans, but I prefer the combination. This chili has an interesting blend of flavors and you can easily adjust amounts to your liking – I tend to measure all the spices with a generous hand! Don’t be afraid to make it spicy because serving it on spaghetti sort of spreads out the heat. I have also added chopped bell peppers to this to add color, with good results. This freezes well. A couple of notes – browning the ground beef ahead of time works ok, but the consistency will be much different than if you crumble the raw meat into the water at the start chunky vs. a kind of thickened sauce consistency. Also, this will work in a crock pot, but the end result is too thin and watery for my taste., Made for the first time exactly as wriiten and was blown away. I am from south Georgia and learned about Cincinnati chili when I met my husband. We made it his way for years basically just his good ol regular chili but served with all the cincy fixin’s until I stumbled across this recipe last month. Omg, the flavors are so complex and nuanced. I was skeptical of boiling the beef, lol, but dear lord did it ever work. I made a day ahead and was able to sccop off any extra congealed fat the next day but left a little in for flavor. Served with all the accoutrements – spaghetti noodles, shredded cheddar, green onions and oyster crackers. I am thinking of hosting a chili potluck with friends in January and want to blow them away with this. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe!!!!!, I have 2 recipes for Skyline – this one was good, but I think the spices were a little off. HOWEVER, the method is perfect!
