Skyline or as some people call it "Greek Chili" is just different from the
Tex-Mex concoction. Although thet share the same name they are in fact very
different substances and are used in a very different fashion.



CINCINNATI "SKYLINE" CHILI
1 qt. water
2 med. onions, finely chopped
2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
5 whole allspice or 1/2 tsp. ground
1 1/2 tsp. red pepper
1 tsp. ground cumin
3-4 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 lbs. ground beef
4 garlic cloves
2 tbsp. vinegar
1 whole bay leaf
5 whole cloves
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
Add ground beef to water in 4 quart pot. Stir until beef separates to a fine
texture. Boil slowly for 30 minutes. Add all other ingredients. Stir to blend,
bringing to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 3 hours. Pot may
be covered the last hour after desired consistency is reached.
Chili should be refrigerated overnight, so that the fat can be lifted from top
before reheating. Serve over spaghetti. Serve with oyster crackers.

3-way: spaghetti, sauce, finely grated Cheddar cheese
4-way: spaghetti, sauce, cheese, onions
5-way: spaghetti, sauce, cheese, onions, beans.
