Classic Cincinnati Skyline Chili Recipe

Directions

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 2

Once the beef is browned, add the cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 3

Add the beef broth and water to the pot, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, or until it thickens and reduces slightly.

Step 5

While the chili is cooking, cook the spaghetti in a separate pot of boiling water until it is al dente. Drain the spaghetti and set it aside.

Step 6

To serve, place a portion of spaghetti on a plate, followed by a generous portion of the chili. Top with beans, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of sliced onions.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy the authentic taste of Cincinnati Skyline Chili!
