Skyline Chili Recipe:
Prepare at least one day before use for best results.
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground beef heart (or substitute ground beef)
Water (to cover)
15 ounces tomato paste
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 ½ tsp salt (I adjusted to taste after simmering for 2 hours)
1 ¾ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tbs apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
7 tsp Fleischmann’s instant dry yeast
1 tbsp + 1 tsp Brewer’s/Nutritional yeast
1 tbsp + 1 tsp unsweetened cacao powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 3/8 tsp paprika
1 tbsp + 1 tsp allspice
1 5/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 ¼ tsp ground clove
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp black pepper
Place ground meat in a large pot and cover with cold water. Whisk meat until it is broken up into a slurry, then add tomato paste and tomato sauce. Turn the heat to medium-high and simmer until the meat turns gray. At this point, add the rest of the ingredients and adjust the heat to a low simmer with no lid; after two hours of simmering, taste and adjust the ingredients as necessary. Allow to cool and refrigerate until you are ready to reheat and use.

  1. you definitely do need the bright orange and ultra finely grated cheese for skyline. but nice video though i enjoyed it

  2. Hi Greg, it's Mike and I trust you and your good lady are well. You have treated us to soooooo many GREAT Burgers this year. I REALLY admire and thank you for all the research and prep you do before your well presented demos. Yep, another iconic Burger which I'll make next week and I liked your sound comments about using grated cheese. GREAT STUFF AGAIN GREG. Cheers, Mike.

  3. Greg you are the best thank you for showing your copycat burgers. I'm a fan of Ballistic BBQ and I can't wait for your next. 😊

  4. I personally find the Skyline chili to be gross (the cinnamon & cloves is off-putting in chili) but to each his own🙂

  5. Worked at skyline and at least 20 years ago, I can 💯 say they used mild cheddar from Wisconsin. Will give your copycat recipe a try, thanks!

  6. I'm convinced that Skyline calling it "chili" was a huge mistake because so many people take a bite and the fact it has such a different spice profile it turns them off. You call this, like, Greek spaghetti sauce or something and no one bats an eye. I love the stuff, myself and this looks so fascinating.

  7. Great stuff. I am a Cincinnati native born and raised. Grew up on Skyline, I wish they had a burger like that at the restaurants. They do use a finely grated medium cheddar for their cheese. Your burger looks awesome

  8. Masterful, brother. The old guts may not be feeling so great after but there's no way possible that isn't delicious.
