As a Texan, I'd still call it a form of chilli to enjoy

I totally get why some people don't want to call it chili. But it's its own legit thing, unlike anything else I've ever eaten.

We went to Skyline when we went to Cincinnati last year. Fell in love with it. We really liked Cincinnati too, it had a good vibe to it.

As an Aussie who was in the US for 6 years working in golf and travelling the US, I would always check-out to see if a Skyline Chili restaurant was in the town. I would start off with a cup of chili beans then follow with the 4-ways onion every night for the week I was there. I always needed to add chili sauce to spice it up. Normally after 3 nights of eating there, I would not have to order as the staff knew what I wanted. Sadly, we don't have any Skyline Chili restaurants Down Under that I'm aware of. I shall give your recipe a go.

I have not tried the recipe presented here… I have not even finished watching the video, in fact. However, I have made the one that Chef John from Food Wishes here on KZread made and I can tell you it is spot on to Skyline. Definitely worth trying if this one isn’t to your liking.

Finally somebody on KZread doing a Cincinnati style chili recipe that has actually had Cincinnati or Skyline chili.

It’s Absolutely Amazing Thank You So Much 🙏❤️

Thus is my go to recipe for Cincy style chili. So yummy!

damn that looks good 😀

Chili wears a lot of hats in different regions. This is just another great chili. Quick question, why chicken stock and not beef stock? Thanks for the great videos! Keep up the good work!

Makes sense! Tried it with Beef stock and felt it was one dimensional.

@@michaelollier5386 thanks for the feedback. That makes sense.

When I worked in Columbus, we had a group that would go for lunch 1-2 x's month for Skyline. 2 Coney's w/onions. And as for your question - It's chili. I have had friends argue that true chili has beans, otherwise it's just a sauce. Shrug...

Was stationed at WPAFB from '83-'87, ate this stuff once or twice a week. They must've added the "Four-Way-Onion/Four-Way-Bean" since then as every time I tried to order a Four-way, but substitute beans for the onions, they refused to do so, so I had to pay extra and order the "Five-Way, but without onions"... Bastids. Will give your version a try; the seven versions I've already collected/tried aren't quite there, nor is the canned Skyline from amazoid.

Made your Cincinnati Chili today will see if it is that good.

When I moved to Cincy in 1985 as a teen, my friends would take me to Gold Star on Wed for 25-cent coneys! I would get 4, but a friend at 10 every week! My parents still live there, so when I come for Thanksgiving, I get chili on the way to their house from the airport, on the way back to the airport, and possibly once in between if there's time. I usually get a 4 Way onion and 2 chili-cheese sandwiches. A friend taught me to get the sandwiches because there's more chili and no cheap hotdog.

Lived in Cincinnati a long time (who dey) and as we all know everybody misses Skyline once you leave.

Texan here too, but also lived in Dayton Ohio for years, and ate a lot of Skyline's. Like they say there, the 1st time you try it, you hate it. The 2nd time, it's ok. The 3rd time, you're addicted. But, it really is more Greek Spaghetti sauce than Chili

Good point! This is a surprisingly heated topic.

Ohioans represent!

As a non-american, I would not know the correct answer. But looks pretty allright to me

Chili or meat sauce, it's delicious!

Oh it’s chili alright! However my friends from college thought I was a littler off my rocker….especially those from TX..

Slow cooker?

I personally always liked gold star more, and whether it’s a meat sauce or chili, it’s just good

You actually don’t brown the beef. It basically stews with the liquid and breaks up really fine.

Why not use beef stock instead of the chicken?

no onions when you cook. i have seen many different recipes. i lived in cincy for my first 21 years. i have tried to make cincy chili many times. i will try your recipe next. i have seen other recipes adding onion, cardamon, brown sugar, mustard power. also i buy alot of dried chilis. but what kind would be the best type for cincy chili.

Meat and spices equals chili.

It’s a meat sauce with chilli seasonings ! Good either way

I always thought it was mild chedder at skyline.

Yup, I think it was.

Chili is named so because there's Chili peppers in it. This has chili powder, so it can theoretically be named chili.

I heard that they add a bar of Hersey chocolate to cinncy chili? Yes or no.

I love it, but it IS an acquired taste. I always get three coneys, with everything. 👍

Including ketchup. Screw the purists.

I don't think Skyline has cocoa though, Gold Star does.

“Chili powder”…every brand is a different mix of herbs and spices. Which one did you use? Did you make your own?

Please melt the cheese

@jeffnmelissaadkins3204

No. Cheese is never melted on this. It’s not meant to eat like spaghetti where you twirl it up on a fork. You cut individual bites with really short strands of noodles and you want the cheese to be airy.

When empress was the 1st in Cincy(1922) the 2 brothers never called the product chili, it was called sauce or hot dog sauce, no pasta, then a friend came from Greece to work for 😂 them & went to Newport & started Dixie & a worker remodeling his house put the sauce on pasta & none of these items had had cheese at either place. The local residents in Cincy started calling it chili & to appease their customersthe parlors started calling it chili instead of sauce, For the true full story interview Mr. Spiros Sarakatsanis from Dixie chili

It’s a desert topping you cow!

First I would not use ground chuck, why to fatty. I would never go below ground round. Spicy? Why do we always have to be spicy? You got a ulcer death wish or something? Dont forget this recipe was developed by a few greek brothers and although its not a traditional greek dish, greek food is known not to be spicy food so why cant u let it be what it is. Traditionally it is mild cheddar cheese, not sharp and we dont need sharp. I have mixed med with mild and that can be nice, but I think sharp is OTT. Why dont u try making a variation of chili con carne the Mexican chili and Texas variations. Then u can make it as spicy as u want with those Mexican spices. Skyline chili recipe hasnt been changed or altered in anyway since the 1920s. If it aint broke dont fix it! Is it a chili or a sauce? Well a sauce is a thick liquid that is for dipping to add moisture and flavor to dishes and "chili con carne" means "chili with meat", which is the original chili dish from mexican influence in texas and contains tomato as well. So I would say Skyline is a chili.

Using cocoa powder (or chocolate) in this is a myth. And cayenne pepper does not belong in Cincinnati chili either (save that for your Texas chili). Otherwise, this recipe seems sound.

Never brown the ground beef. It goes in the water or broth uncooked………

I have had Cincinnati Chili in Cincinnati 3 different times over the last 10 years and all I can say is ....NO!!! Hands down THE worst tasting chili ever! Sorry, but cinnamon and clove do NOT belong in chili EVER!

Mexicans are the reason chili exists. They use cocoa in types of chili and mole sauces. Are they wrong too?

Haha you gotta grow up here. It's an acquired taste.

It’s not chile-it’s a meat sauce. It’s good but not real chile.

Cincinnati chili is bland and tasteless. Detroit Coney sauce is the real deal.
