    Love Food TV Network, picked up the magazine jan/feb 2013 and came upon this chili, cooking it now. Am happy to have googled this recipe online as I have just noticed 3 INGREDIENTS are missing from the magazine. BAY LEAF and WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE and unsweetened chocolate, it is unfortunate had to come upon that, but it is US that keep you going ratings and all. big faux pas. Looking forward to the end result Cheers!!

    Side by side taste comparison with Skyline Chili - not even close. Followed recipe exactly; Food Network recipe looked like dark mud and it was grainy. Tastes more like a strong Greek meat sauce over spaghetti - not appetizing at all. I lived in Cincinnati for 20 years, ate plenty of Skyline, was really hopefully I could make something similar to bring back the memories. Disappointed. Stick with the real thing --

    I'm a big fan of chili, all types, but have never had Cincinnati Chili. This recipe was easy, most of us have all the spices in our cabinets, so get them all out,and follow the recipe to the exact letter! I did add two cans of dark red kidney beans and two cans of the chopped tomatoes. I topped it with sharp cheddar and oyster crackers. Excellent! Great meal for a crowd and game day! Freezes well too. Talk about comfort food!!!

    My Grandmother lived in Cincinnati for years. She handed down a recipe to my mother, which I lost. This, however is just as I remember Cincinnati chili. It is great!!! I do suggest the first time you try this you stick strickly to the recipe. After that if you feel you need to make changes, do so.

    I substituted 2 cups beef broth for the water. I also omitted the canned tomatoes for an extra small can of tomato sauce. I also used 2TBS. unsweetened cocoa powder because I didn't have the chocolate. Everything else I did the same . Amazingly delicious !! Everybody loved it.
    Thanks for the recipe!

    This is a winner: I found a new way to enjoy chili,thanks to Guy F.
    It came out fantastic,with a small amount of changes. I had no chocolate ,I forgot to buy it.Secondly I added a chili mix along with most of the other spices. With my left over chunky tomato sauce which I made already weks ago,I added it with a small amount of water and the W. Sauce too. Had enough to freese for another meal to. I enjoyed mostly taht the beans went on top with the cheese and onions. I will make this again. Thanks

    This recipe is fantastic - it rides the line of being hot spicy and sweet/cinnamon/clove spicy. I substituted half of the chili powder with mexican hot chili powder as well, which added some additional kick!

    It's not SkyLine Chili, but WOW. Of course, I had to doctor it a little to my taste, but my oh my!!! I'll definitely make this again. It made so much, it's going in the freezer. Can't wait to make it for a nice cold day.

    I was hankering for Skyline chili but had never made it. This was just what I was looking for. The spices were nicely mixed, and I did not find an overwhelming "gingerbread" smell, though it is very different from Texas-style chili. We served it over the spaghetti and then used the leftovers for chili-dogs. My husband said "the best chili dogs I've ever tasted." I can't make any comparisons to "real" Cincinnati chili, but I loved the mixture of spices.
