Nearly Cincinnati Chili Recipe by Maggie Conlon
 Maggie Conlon @WarsawNan Orlando, FL Cincinnati Skyline Chili was a regular family meal growing up in the Midwest. Mine is "nearly" the same because I'm not too fond of chili powder, which is used heavily in true Skyline Chili. I substitute minced jalapeño peppers. If you'd prefer the authentic version, leave out the jalapeños and add 1/4 cup chili powder. #Goldenapron23 Cincinnati Skyline Chili was a regular family meal growing up in the Midwest.

Copied! on August 30, 2023 22:11 Orlando, FL My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.

Even though I dislike Ohio (Michigan girl) they know how to make a damn good chili. Julie T. Simple Cincinnati Chili by BC Simple Cincinnati Chili by BC This is the only meal my wife asks me to cook. I tried to make it once from the online recipes calling for chocolate and a multitude of other flavors. When I made that version for my in-laws for the first time, lets just say her dad barely touched it. This man normally goes for thirds. So, finally today I found the old recipe online that I lost long ago. It is much simpler and ohhhh soooo good. Thank you Betty Crocker for the recipe. trizzant Classic Chili Classic Chili This is the best-tasting chili that I've ever had. It's nothing adventurous -- just classic and delicious! For fun, add some toppings to your bowl! Some of my favorites include: - green onions - cilantro - home-made mac & cheese - Fritos corn chips - Sour Cream & Cheddar Ruffles potato chips (but go light! Their flavor can be over-powering) - shredded cheddar cheese - and of course regular sour cream Maybe don't try all those toppings at once, but in smaller combinations, they can be delicious! :-) schultzisaiah Chicken Chili Chicken Chili I've been and continue to experiment with my chili recipe.
