SKYLIKE CHILI - SKYLINE CHILI COPYCAT



Skylike Chili - Skyline Chili Copycat image

A copycat of Skyline Chili, true Cincinnati chili, except it's less greasy! I combine all the dry spices times ten and keep the "Skyline Spice Mix" in a jar cannister. One batch of chili will use 3/8 cup of spice mix. The spice mix is also tasty as a meat rub for steak, pork and chicken.

Top Skyline Chili Recipe Variations

  • Classic Skyline Chili: For a traditional Skyline Chili experience, use a simple chili base, ground chuck, and the unique Greek-style hot dogs known as "coney dogs." Top it with shredded cheddar cheese, red onions, and oyster crackers.
  • Vegetarian Skyline Chili: Create a meatless version by substituting crumbled tempeh, textured plant-based protein, or lentils for the ground chuck. Keep the same flavorful spices and toppings.
  • Cincinnati-Style Chili: Incorporate cinnamon, allspice, and dark chocolate into your chili for a unique Cincinnati-style take. These spices create a rich, aromatic depth of flavors.
  • Healthy Skyline Chili: Opt for ground turkey or chicken instead of ground chuck to reduce the fat content. Use low-sodium broth and plenty of fresh, vibrant veggies to boost nutritional value while retaining chili's comfort.
  • Smoky Skyline Chili: Elevate your chili with a smoky touch by using smoked paprika, roasted poblano peppers, or even a hint of liquid smoke. This adds depth and an irresistible aroma.
  • Game Day Skyline Chili: Turn your chili into a festive football-watching spread. Prepare a buffet of toppings, such as diced tomatoes, diced avocado, cilantro, and jalapeños. Encourage your guests to customize their chili bowl to taste.
  • Creamy Skyline Chili: For a creamy, velvety texture, consider adding cream cheese, mascarpone, or coconut cream to the chili near the end of cooking. This touch adds richness and a decadent feel.
