Copycat Skyline Cincinnati Chili

It was OK. I love chili, but this was definitely not one of my favorites. Out of the 4 of us, my son thought it was really good, though... so small win, I guess, since he usually likes nothing lol

I would increase spice mixture some. Ratio are good. I used Costco 3 pack of organic hamburger. I used 1 kinder and 1 McCormick packet as I didn't have enough chili powder. I 3 timed the ingredients and used Chile powder to make up the difference (18 servings) I also only had I tube tomato paste so I added 2 to 3 cans tomatoe sauce instead. I decreased the water amount 1.5 cups. This is my preferred. This is for 18 servings I have made exactly as the recipe call for also and it is good, I think slightly better as above. These notes are for me and my family. I've never had skyline chili so I'm not even a novice when it come to this.

As a person who grew up eating Skyline Chili, this recipe was so close in flavor that I almost couldn't tell the difference. Years ago, I would buy the cans at the store to get my fix however, they were very expensive so, I could only buy one every once in a while. Now, I can have it more often because this recipe is very economical once you have all of the spices on hand. At first, I thought this recipe had WAY too much chili powder as it was all I could taste and I added a little bit more of the allspice and cinnamon. I really wasn't sure if I was going to like this recipe but, decided to let it rest overnight and see what happened and have it the next day over some spaghetti for dinner. I am so glad I did because it was so good and the chili powder flavor really mellowed out and created a wonderful flavor along with the other spices. My advice is to make this chili at least a day ahead of time to give the flavors time to meld and, I promise, you won't be disappointed! Don't forget, Cincinnati chili is supposed to be fairly thin in consistency so, don't expect this to be thick like other chilis. Enjoy!

Next time I will add 1.5 or 2 pounds of ground beef. This definitely took a long time to cook down, but was worth the wait! Great flavor profile!

Love this, can easily be made vegan with beyond meat!

The flavor isn't quite the same as Skyline but the texture is spot on. Overall a good copycat recipe that I'm sure I will be repeating.

Either add more beef or less water and I think it would be perfect.

Ok, but Not what I expected, would look for alternate recipe

Delicious over spaghetti or on a chili dog.

Could use a little extra salt, maybe a touch less cinnamon

Didnt really have that skyline taste
