Best Cincinnati Style Chili // Copycat Skyline/ 5 way ❤️
You’re in for a real treat with this Cincinnati Style Chili recipe, it’s really hard to beat. I love Texas chili, but this Cincinnati chili is unique in its own way, some of the untraditional ingredients in this chili takes it to a whole new level. It’s been a few years since I tasted Skyline chili for the first time, and since then I have come up with my own copycat recipe and I give it an A+. I’m sure you will love it if you give it a try. ❤️
Made a mistake.😘

I get the Cincinnati Chili spice packets from Kroger's and make my own. It's a lot easier to put together. The KZreadr is right, you don't want to brown the hamburger first. To make the proper slurry, you need to seethe (boil) the ground beef and mash it as you go. I like to add my beans to the pot for tighter integration. I also like to use Brooks "Chili Hot Beans" instead of ordinary Kidney Beans. This adds just the right amount of heat to the chili. When I make a pot of Cincinnati Chili, I often like to boil some hot dogs so that I can make cheese Coneys too 😋 Yum yum!
I live in Cincy and love and eat and cook Skyline style... You are making it right.. of course because you are a great cook and teacher. P.S. I made my mom your enchiladas tonight for her birthday. (89) :)

You've taken me back years when Cincinnati Style Chili was introduced to me. I can tell you this my dear friend, it wasn't nearly delicious as this recipe you share with us. A definite must try as Johnny has never tried it and I'm sure he'll love it. I do hope that y'all are enjoying your new home as I'm sure it'll be a perfect place to make wonderful new memories.

OMGoodness! I grew up spending Summers with my Grandmother (mi Abuela) in Dayton, Ohio, so I've had Skyline all my life, ALL 5 ways many times, so I can appreciate this chili as much as yourself. I never knew, and didn't know why until today, to even think of making it at home! This recipe is like "food gold" to me, and I CAN NOT stress enough how much I appreciate you sharing it here!! I WILL BE making this at home now thanks to you Rachel! Thank you, thank you, thank you...did I say THANK YOU (MUCHAS GRACIAS)?! You will now be bringing back MANY wonderful childhood memories for me and my family, and my kids too who've never had it before as we live in Washinton state now, and for that I am TRULY grateful! Have a Blessed day...
I lived in Pennsylvania for a while, around the Pittsburgh area. A very popular dish up there was “Chili Fries”. It was a big plate of French fries smothered in some of that nontraditional chili and onions and cheese. It was great! And when I was a kid, growing up in The South, Mama would stretch left over chili into a meal that would feed the whole brood by serving it over macaroni……called it “chili Mac” and we kids loved it!
I am from Cincinnati and love Skyline. It is an acquired taste for some. The family who invented the chili are Greek so their is cinnamon in the chili. Cheese choney is good too.

Born & raised in Cincinnati. Love this chili!!! Cincinnati chili is NOT your average "bowl of red" style chili. This style of chili was first served at the Empress Chili Parlor over 100 years ago by two greek brothers. Thanks for sharing this great authentic recipe. Looking forward to serving it to my family. Love your video's. PS. In the midwest (Ohio, anyway) chili is often served over spaghetti. Thanks again
I grew up in Kentucky…we used to visit our grandparents in Gary, Indiana. It was always a treat to stop in Cincinnati at Camp Washington’s Chili…Thanks for the great recipe.
I remember the Cincinnati Chili from my years spent in Ohio. I loved it then and your recipe is a must try for me. Thanks for the great memories !

I've never been to Cincinnati nor tried their chili but when I went to make it I went to my go to which is Chef John. He's never been there or tried it either, so I looked it up and found this recipe. I tried it and it is awesome. A total hit at our house. Thanks, Rachel.
Hey Rachel and everyone- I watched this video late last night and this morning I checked in my kitchen on all the ingredients needed to make this chili. I have only had it once, and that years ago down in southern Indiana and I’ve never forgotten it how delicious it was. So watching this video inspired me. so I went to the store today and got all the ingredients needed and I’m gonna make it tomorrow and I cannot wait, I never heard of this chili before I had it down south and now Rachel you’ve inspired me to make it for myself here at home. I cannot wait. Thank you!
So unique. In Milwaukee, we used to have George Web hamburgers and chili. They always put a little broken spaghetti noodles in their chili too.
Always love Cincinnati chili! I grew up in Ohio and this is always a treat . Taste like the original!

I grew up in Kentucky and we always thought we were making Cincinnati chili. But we never boiled our ground beef. Our ingredients matched. It was delicious just as yours looks yummy!😊
I finally made the Cincinnati Chili yesterday for dinner. Everyone in the family enjoyed it and ask for seconds! The spices that were added to this dish are spot-on. They made the chili unique tasting and yummy! I have never added dark unsweetened chocolate to chili before yesterday, but you are correct it was delicious! The chocolate add a rich depthness to the recipe. Thank you, Rachel, for another winning recipe!!

I was born in Cincinnati and, lived outside of Cincinnati and, we even knew a guy that was a owner of our neighborhood Empress yrs ago, they add unseeded red chili peppers and, they used cocoa powder and Skyline adds a 8oz chocolate bar to their typical serving size per batch! I had a family friend that worked there and told us this! Most people tend to believe there’s no chocolate in Cincinnati Style Chili but, that’s what gives it’s unique taste! Also, Skyline uses cinnamon! Each chain has it’s own recipe and, each recipe in the cookbook s are different! I got a recipe yrs ago out of a microwave cookbook that used to come along with your microwave when you would purchase one and in that cookbook is a recipe for homemade skyline, it does call for chocolate and, it calls for pumpkin pie spice, chili powder, it does not call for cloves or allspice. It calls for 1/3 cup of Worcestershire sauce, 1/2c. of beef broth, I can’t handle the strong beef flavor so, I use chicken broth and, it calls for a 1Tbs of white vinegar!
Grew up on Cincy chili.. My Mom was from Cincy. Plus I lived there from 1980-85. Great recipe for sure.... Good for a Coney Island hotdog. Goetta is my next fave food from there. Gliers! Thanks for sharing...😊
Can hardly wait to try this. Stoped my heart with such wonderful ingredients. Thank you so much.

Going to make this! Lived in Lexington, Ky for 25 yrs and our favorite Cincinnati chili was Gold Star Chili. Very similar and our favorite. Husband always got the 5 way and I got the hot dogs. Those dogs were so small, but great..that chili, their cheese and buns were the best👍

Rachel, thank you for another wonderful recipe. I've lived my entire 73 years in the Greater Cincinnati area and grew up eating Cincinnati Chili. Cincinnati Chili is also known as Greek Style Chili, it's also known as Cinnamon Based Chili. I have collected and cooked a number of Cincinnati Chili Recipes and your's is among the best. I cooked it tonight and planned on serving it for tomorrow night's dinner. It smelled so good cooking I had it for tonight's dinner! Cincinnati style chili also goes great with hot dogs, place hot dog in bun, cover with chili, top with mustard, onions and cheese which is called a "cheese coney." Regard; Bill in Northern Kentucky

My mother used to make this for camping or bonfires we would have. Its great, but the recipe got lost. Thanks for your version! Im an ohioan.🤗
Never seen this dish before. I’m definitely going to make this.
My daughter lives in Youngstown Ohio and I meet her mother in Columbus to pick her up and take her back when she gets to come stay with me in Kentucky. Skyline is always a stop made either on the way up there or on the way back to Kentucky. Absolutely love cincy style chili besides the raw onions, they're just to overpowering for me. But I love how you included cooked onions. Looks delicious ❤
Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering. I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I’ve never heard of putting chocolate in chili. That’s so interesting. You’re a wonderful teacher. You explain things is such great detail, STEP BY STEP is exactly what you do. God bless you and you Ron.
OH YAY!! I need my skyline chili! I was born in dayton, but I live far from there now!
Hi Rachel. Oh my goodness looks absolutely delicious. Muchos abrazos y bendiciones.🤗💖💖♥️♥️
That chili sounds amazing - with everything! Spaghetti, chili, kidney beans, raw onions & cheddar cheese. Can’t wait to make it. Especially with those seasonings. 😊
I wish you had a cookbook I love your recipes
Thank you so much. My wife and I grew up with it, but now live a couple hours away from the closest skyline. Sooo I will be trying this myself this weekend. Wish me luck. 😊
We made this recipe last night and it was FANTASTIC. Even went the extra mile and got the oyster crackers and York Peppermint Patties for dessert. I've always been curious to try Skyline Chili but no places in Upstate NY have it, so I made it myself and it was totally worth it. Huge recommend!

I've wondered how to make Cincinnati style chili. I knew it had cinnamon in it, but now I understand how it is different from traditional chili. Excellent! Sounds good for another great dish to make during the fall and winter months. Thank you for showing us how to make it. Looks delicious.♥️
Love skyline chili, I'm going to give it a try. Thank you!
At what point does recipe preparation become so smooth and perfect as Rachel. The kitchen is always remains perfect. Each step by step is executed with ease. By the end of my preparation, there isn't a bowl left in the cabinet! The counter tops have bits and pieces of chopped veggie all over the place! I am scrambling around to finish things up. Rachel is so calm and on point throughout the cooking process. Maybe someday Miss Rachel! Fantastic chili recipe!
Looks delicious, Ms Rachel! Thank you for sharing. I've always wanted to make this
In case y'all didn't know in Ohio there's only two kinds of people. Gold Star chili people and Skyline Chili people. The lines are drawn and the battle is fierce. I'm from Texas but I have a good friend from Cincinnati. He brought some cans of Gold Star back with him and that was my first experience with Cincinnati style chili. It's awesome. Since then I found a can of Skyline at the grocery store when I lived in Colorado Springs. I much prefer Gold Star. I've ordered a case of cans of Gold Star for like $40. You can still order them there.
I was introduced to Cincinnati Chili by my husband's family, who lived for generations in the "Queen City". I had never been a chili fan, but this stuff is so delicious. The family recipe does not include all your ingredients (no chocolate!) but now I am intrigued! I might have to go rogue and make Rachel's Skyline version! Thanks for sharing this! I really love watching your videos, Rachel. ♥Have a great weekend!!

Wow. That’s some amazing chili.
I grew up in Springfield, Ohio. My Grandparents on both sides lived in Cincinnati. Every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas, my parents would load us up in the car and we would head to our Grandparents house. We would always stop on the way and pick up either Cincinnati chili or White Castles. The chili was always my favorite! There are so many different Cincinnati chili restaurants in Cincinnati. There’s Skyline, Gold Star, Emperess, Camp Washington, etc. My favorite was always Skyline! My Dad used to always make it from scratch like you did and I’ve made it myself. It is delicious and always reminds mope of my childhood!!!❤❤❤
This looks very interesting! I’m going to try it! Thanks for the video Rachel!❤❤❤

I lived in Cincinnati for 42 years before we moved to Florida. Skyline is sooooooo good! You did a great job! Thankfully we can buy it buy here in Florida. We miss eating it in the restaurant. The skyline restaurants aren’t the same here.
Those are very unusual flavors in a chili. Looks intriguing... I'm going to have to try it!

I remember the Syline I went to also had hotdogs and buns. They would place the chili on it like a cony dog. They were little hotdogs too, not the average length ones. I loved them! Does your Skyline have those now? Sadly our Skyline closed a long time ago. :( So happy to have this recipe now. Thank you!
Your recipes are the best!
