This is the closest recipe this native Cincinnatian has found to replace her beloved Skyline chili. I live in Texas now, and every time I make this for my Texan buddies I get "it's not chili, but it's GREAT! Read more " Try it. Also great minus the noodles as a chili-dog topper. See less
Ingredients
- 1 lb. natural ground beef (85/15 is what I prefer) shopping list
- 16 oz. spaghetti noodles shopping list
- 8 oz. bag shredded sharp cheddar cheese shopping list
- 1 29 oz. can tomato sauce shopping list
- 1 cup water shopping list
- 1 large diced yellow sweet onion shopping list
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 tbsp. Worchestershire sauce shopping list
- 1 tbsp. unsweetened powdered cocoa shopping list
- 1 cube or tbsp beef boullion shopping list
- 1 tsp. cumin shopping list
- 1 tsp. cinnamon shopping list
- 1 tsp. chili powder shopping list
- 1/8 tsp. cloves shopping list
- 1/8 tsp. allspice shopping list
- oyster crackers and red or sweet yellow onion to top shopping list
How to make it
- Cook ground beef on stovetop over medium to medium high heat until browned through (about 5 min.) Add about 1/2 to 3/4 cup onion and the 1-2 cloves minced garlic and cook about 2 more minutes or until onion is translucent. The key with the onion is to cut the pieces pretty small, almost minced, so they are not noticeable. This is not your normal chunky chili, should be more of a saucy consistency. Break up the meat while you are cooking also!
- Then, pour into a large (2-3 quart) soup pot. Add other ingredients (except cheese, noodles, crackers, and remainder of onion) and stir well. Bring to rapid boil, stirring frequently.
- Once mixture boils, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 50-60 minutes. Meanwhile, boil spaghetti to desired tenderness and drain.
- Layer in a bowl as follows: noodles, chili, onion, cheese, oyster crackers. I recommend eating with a knife and fork. Delicious!

Made this last night & it was a huge hit! Thanks for this - I had Cincinnati Chili once years ago & have never forgotten it; this tasted just like I remember.

I add a can of kidney beans, because it just doesn't seem like chili without them.

Just wanted to note that I recently discovered boiling beef, and it works beautifully with this recipe. Doing it this way gets rid of most of the fat and leaves you with a super-small grain. Crumble the beef into a slow cooker at bedtime, cover it wi...more
