Skylike Chili - Skyline Chili Copycat

Authenic! We ate at Skyline on our honeymoon. What I didn't know is how much cheddar cheese they PILE on, it's really way too much and I love cheese. I used about 10 green onions minced instead of the 2 onions, DH isn't wild about them. This was worth the effort. I boiled the meat, and scraped the fate off periodically as it simmered. It was a little runny, but thickened up as it cooled and sat. The flavor develops the longer it sits. Thanks for posting this keeper recipe!

Have tried this recipe several times. Always a huge hit. My family thinks it tastes better than the restaurant. Love it!

This tastes the closest to Skyline chili I've ever had. I only did a couple things differently. First, I salted to taste. 1/2 a tsp doesn't really cut it. More importantly was how I cooked the meat. The first time I followed the recipe I browned the meat and onion like it said to. This made for a bit chunkier chili than Skyline variety. This time I cooked the onions (which should be closer to minced than chopped) with a wee bit of olive oil, then threw in the beef raw along with the stock and stirred it well to break apart the meat. I let the mixture then come to a boil while I prepped the other ingredients, stirring occasionally. Cooking the meat this way made for a smoother texture this time around. Enjoy!

This is my favorite chili. The combination of spices makes for a wonderful final result. And even though many might think chocolate is a bizarre addition to chili, it just adds a little mellowness to the chili. I serve this over pasta with lots of cheese, onions but NO beans.
