Menu Monday Cincinnati Chili

The first day of spring gave us our last burst of winter, here in NJ.  Today’s recipe is a great way to warm up during these last few freezing nights!  This recipe is a copycat of the famous Skyline Chili restaurant recipe.

I can’t usually wait til the next day to eat it– it’s sooo yummy! Can be served with gluten free pasta, or over rice, and without cheese depending on your dietary restrictions.

Prep Time: 15-20 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours

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

  1. Add all the remaining ingredients.
  2. Continue to simmer on low, uncovered, for 3 hours. Add water as needed if the chili becomes too thick.
  3. Refrigerate the chili overnight, and the next day remove the layer of fat from top before reheating and serving.
