@@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: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXqpptCpf5iXhcY.html

One extra feature is to have 3, 4, or 5 way “inverted” with extra cheese-that means a layer of cheese both above and below. Regardless, you treated a sacred Cincinnati treasure with deepest care.

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.

My dad is Greek and was really hesitant to try it because he didn’t like his mom’s version of this growing up! But seriously, Cincinnati chili is super popular. I’ve seen businessmen eating it downtown in their suits-Skyline Chili, the main chili chain, provides free bibs!

My first encounter with a Cincinnati chili included the ingredient of 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder (for one pound of meat). All other ingredients are similar, except for 15-oz tomato sauce vs tomato paste. I thought that the cocoa powder was part of ALL Cincinnati chili recipes.

Have to try this 😋

Love the stuff. Thank you for making a childhood favorite.

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!

I "accidentally" made this once when I was drunk and just called it "Chili-Sgetti" 😋

I always wait for your comments on this channel!

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.

Definitely making this! Looks great

We always had it with oyster crackers, too. That little bit of crunch, with the warm, spicy meat, the edge of the raw onion, creamy cheese and starchy noodles... Heaven on a plat, but it definitely takes a long time to eat, lol. As a kid I would get impatient and just want to shovel it all into my mouth.

Hell yeah! It's skyline time

I always forget that chili spaghetti isn’t normal everywhere 😂 I grew up on this and it’s still a favorite🤤

Me too. It wasn't till my adult yrs that I found out that Cincinnati natives are the only pple that put chili with spaghetti. And I was more shocked at how unheard of it was and that out of towners hate Skyline and Gold Star.

i made this for dinner tonight... my brother thought a mountain of cheese was good but a mountain of cheese crisps was even better! so he went about grating and baking cheese crisps to pile on top. thanks for the recipe, chef john!

So, turns out I accidentally made Cinci chili the other night although I also added ginger and cardamom! Exciting to know my cooking skills are improving and I thank Chef John for helping me take the fear out of experimenting. Great video.

Ive been craving this...made it a few times. Shout out to pleasant ridge chili! 5 way, double turkey and gravy cheese fries...ftw

I LOVE Cincinnati chilli! I like it with pasta, chilli, cheese and onions on it. No beans for me, please!! I haven't had any in years so now maybe I will look into making my own. Thank you for this recipe, Chef John!!!

My 11 year old has a chili cook off fundraiser this friday, we’re using your recipe. We lived in Dayton, OH from the time he was 4-9 years old so Skyline Chili was like his happy meal lol. Now we live in Georgia so we’re going to bring this to the South. Great video, very helpful! We also have a nice butcher shop to grab some grassfed beef.

an Icky Woods reference, nice!

Appearently there have been so many elderly people retiring to Florida from Cinci that there was a demand for it. So you have a few down there.

This is a 100% accurate recipie. My brother lives in Cincinnati and I always want this when I visit...Can also be served with chili beans, and/or raw yellow onions! Amazing!

i spiritually travel to cincinnati from time to time. guy fieri's drive ins, diners & dives had an episode with dogs and chili in chicago, and cincinnati spaghettified style chili with liberal amounts of cheddar on it occurred. this looks awesome.

A five-way is chili, spaghetti, cheese, onions and beans. And yes, yours was probably a little too thick at first 😉

Rachelle Martin When I formulated “my” recipe, I wanted to be able to make spice packets of then. Rip the pack open and pour

Chef, I've been watching and enjoying you cook and also trying to do the same myself for a good while now. I have to say this has been then only upload / recipe I've looked at and thought "Nah! That just looks like something my dog sicked up last week". Now, I shan't be rushing to buy tickets to visit Cincinnati, but it sure wont stop me enjoying what you do. What happens in Cincinnati... Can stay in Cincinnati.
