DESCRIPTION

Authentic Cincinnati Chili Recipe

This is the actual recipe from Skyline. It was printed in the Cincy Inquirer in the early 70s.

"This was handed down to me by Mom, a Cincinnati native. Skimming the fat makes this a healthier version than most, and gives it the right consistency. I like mine 4-way, with spaghetti, raw chopped onions,
grated mild cheddar, and oyster crackers!
  Melissa Hamilton

INGREDIENTS

o 2 pounds lean ground beef
o 1 quart water, or amount to cover
o 2 onions, finely chopped
o 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
o 2 tablespoons vinegar
o 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
o 4 cloves garlic, minced
o 1/2 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
o 1/4 cup chili powder
o 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
o 1 teaspoon ground cumin
o 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
o 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
o 5 whole cloves
o 5 whole allspice berries. FYI- 1t. of ground=5 berries-- so you need 1t. ground allspice
o 1 bay leaf

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the ground beef in a large pan, cover with about 1 quart of cold water, and bring to a boil, stirring and breaking up the beef with a fork to a fine texture. Slowly boil until the meat is thoroughly cooked, about 30 minutes, then remove from heat and refrigerate in the pan overnight.
2. The next day, skim the solid fat from the top of the pan, and discard the fat. Place the beef mixture over medium heat, and stir in the onions, tomato sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, chocolate, chili powder, salt, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, cloves, allspice berries, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. Add water if necessary to prevent the chili from burning.

I grew up in Cincinnati and our chili of choice was Gold Star. For close to 20 years I have been searching for a decent Cincy chili recipe to no avail...until I found this one! I did augment the recipe to make it more like Gold Stars. (Skyline is more "earthy" than I like) I added hot water every 1/2 hour or so- maybe 1/2 cup every time to mellow it out and keep it from getting too thick. I also added ~ 2 teaspoons of light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cardamom, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. The result was more like Gold Star’s chili recipe which is my preference. Thank you for posting this recipe...it quells my craving at least until I make the trip back home to Cincinnati!

This was awesome and tasted soooo much like the real thing, but without the grease! I did not have whole cloves or the allspice berries, so I used 1 1/2 tsp of ground. I did take another’s advice and used beef broth instead of water, and it was saltier than I’d like. I will use water next time! THANK YOU THANK YOU Melissa for this great recipe!!
