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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your chili will taste. This is especially important for the meat, vegetables, and spices.
  • Brown the meat well. Browning the meat adds flavor and depth to the chili. Be sure to brown it in batches so that it doesn't steam.
  • Use a variety of spices. The spices in chili are what give it its unique flavor. Be sure to use a variety of spices, including chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time. The longer the chili simmers, the better the flavors will develop. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for chili include shredded cheese, sour cream, onions, and jalapeños.
