Very nice.
Needs kidney beans! It's not chili without beans!
My 11 year old has a chili cook off fundraiser this friday, we’re using your recipe. We lived in Dayton, OH from the time he was 4-9 years old so Skyline Chili was like his happy meal lol. Now we live in Georgia so we’re going to bring this to the South. Great video, very helpful! We also have a nice butcher shop to grab some grassfed beef.
Steak n Shake makes this
A 4-Way adds either onions or beans, a 5-Way adds both. Oyster crackers are a topping for all of them that doesn't count as a number. It really needs the texture they add, and they're perfect for soaking up those juices in the wet version.
I'm worried that Oak branch did some actual damage to your head. I have always both enjoyed and gotten dinner ideas from your channel as well as one other cooking channel. However, for the past couple of weeks all you do is his recipe a couple days later. Is there something I missed? Are you two having a competition? If not then please go back to your own recipes.
This is a decent dish……..I've had it……..BUT…..Chili, it IS NOT!!
Cincinnati style chili is TRULY a gift from above. Learn to cook this wild dish. It’s lovely. 🙂
YUCK! Boiled hamburger. PLEASE folks, brown the hamburger first.
The recipe is close but not quite. Everyone else is Browning the beef first which is incorrect boiling the raw meat is the way to go.
Horrible, annoying, fake voice.
This is a 100% accurate recipie. My brother lives in Cincinnati and I always want this when I visit…Can also be served with chili beans, and/or raw yellow onions! Amazing!
On snap I was born and raised in Cincinnati and I'm just now discovering twirling is not a Cincinnati thing…#nativeTourists 😂😂😂
Damn, no chocolate, unbelievable.
Jokes aside, I'd say being a twirler is a big deal, at least in the rest of Ohio, but I'm a hotdog person. Also, the thin stringy cheese is iconic imo.
Regardless, you made it look pretty easy so maybe I'll try making it myself for once.
It's all in the spice mix that is used, and how it's cooked. Raw ground beef stirred up in the liquid and simmered for hours. In the past I always cooked up the beef in a skillet, then added it to my chili pot, and then seasoned it differently. I have had Cincinnati chili in Cincinnati, and I didn't care for it, but I'm going to try making it this way. I'll skip the cheese, maybe use the diced onions, and try it on a hot dog too. OH YES – I'll skip the spaghetti too, but it would be great with macaroni.
This looks like an abomination
What do you have against "al dente !"
You're the chef, but pasta should be al dente !
You have a number of videos where you have over-cooked the pasta !
You are the advent of your pasta, but it should be aldent.
I use tomato sauce instead of paste and use cocoa as part of the seasoning. Crockpot. Every time I make it, I'm 7 all over again eating at Skyline in Delhi/Cincinnati.
I had this at a Skyline joint in ohio, it's perfect drunk food, another option is to put french fries underneath all that and a heart stopping amount of cheese on top….
That casual burn of deblasio though lmao
I can’t believe you didn’t slightly brown the tomato paste to bring out the flavor
this is so nostalgic… I grew up in Joplin Missouri. Dadw ould take me to Fred and Reds for this …
As a Southwestern Ohioan, I'm happy that you enjoyed making it.
❤the way chef Johns does his recipes so humorous so fun to listen to
I used to not like Cincinnati style chili, because I thought of it as chili. Then, about eight or ten years ago, it occurred to me while eating pastitsio at a Greek place here at home in St. Louis that Skyline/Cincy chili is really more like the meat sauce in that dish, rather that what I typically think of as 'chili'. It's weird, but from then on I actually started to enjoy Cincinnati chili, simply because I no longer compare it mentally to something it really isn't much like. Doesn't really make much sense, I suppose, but that's how it went for me.
It definitely makes the absolute best chili dogs in the world, by the way.
I love your recipes – the only thing you are missing here is unsweet chocolate. Plus to be truly authentic after cooking you refrigerate overnight and then skim the fat off and reheat. That gives it the right texture.
kinda feels like a different shaped pasta would be better for this… like shells or something
I have actually been to Cinncinatti and have had this made in a restaurant there and I liked it. So, I made a version of chilly meat sauce at home with the will cooked spaghetti because I don't like al dente at the best of times. In fact, I sent it back for more cooking.
A five way is commonly called an orgy.🤣😈
Youve made everything chef john💯
Where is the UNSWEETENED COCOA ? ? ?
Cincinnati chili:
Ingredients:
6 oz can of Tomato paste
1/2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 lb lean ground beef

Add the 5 cups of water in a large pot.
Add the tomato paste and chocolate and heat over medium heat stirring to combine for about 3 minutes.
Add chili powder, cinnamon, garlic powder, cumin, allspice, cloves, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, sugar and vinegar.
Next, crumble the raw ground beef into the pot with your fingers, then use a potato masher, whisk or fork to break up the meat into very fine pieces.
Turn heat to high to bring to a boil.
Once boiling, turn the heat down to med-low.
Cook, uncovered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, at a low boil, stirring occasionally until sauce has thickened quite a bit.
Serve:
2-way = spaghetti and chili
3-way = spaghetti, chili, cheese
4-way = spaghetti, chili, onions OR beans, cheese (my fav is with onions!)
5-way = spaghetti, chili, onion AND beans, cheese
Coneys: Bun, hot dog, chili, mustard, onion, and cheese
