There are many recipes on line for Skyline Chile. This one is in line with most of them and has tomatoes whereas a lot do not.
SKYLINE CHILI
Ingredients:
1 quart cold water
2 lbs ground beef
2 cups crushed tomato
2 yellow onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 whole bay leaf
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp salt
Preparation:
Add beef and water to a 4-quart pot. Bring to a simmer while stirring until the ground beef is in very small pieces.
Simmer for 30 minutes and add the rest of the ingredients.
Simmer on low, uncovered, for 3 hours. Add water as needed if the chili becomes too thick.
After one and one half hours.
After three hours.
Refrigerate the chili overnight, the next day remove the layer of fat from top before reheating and serving.
Time for a Skyline Chili Dog with a Nathan’s NC, mustard, and onion.
And now for the real test a few days later. I’m told you’re supposed to put some chili into the spaghetti water.
How accurate is it, got me? But it sure tastes good and as best as I can remember very close to the real McCoy.
