In a large heavy kettle, cook the onions and the garlic in a little oil over moderate heat, stirring, until the onions are softened, add the beef, and cook the mixture, stirring and breaking up the lumps, until the beef is no longer pink. Add the chili powder, the paprika, the cumin, the coriander, the allspice, the oregano, the cinnamon, the cloves and the mace and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the bay leaf, the water, the tomato sauce, the vinegar, and the molasses and simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to keep the beef barely covered, for 2 hours, or until it is thickened but still soupy enough to be ladled. Discard the bay leaf and season the chili with salt and apper.

Cincinnati Skyline Chili - Is this chili or meat soup? You decide.
Happy New Year! This year I want to adventure into some regional dishes, so if you have one for me to try, let me know! It's gotta be better than this first one (What was I thinking?). Is this chili or meat soup? You decide. Should you choose to try this recipe, do so at your own risk. While my husband liked it and even ate it all, I was NOT a fan... at all. While the flavors were strange, they weren't awful, but the meat was very overcooked and dry. It was just not a texture and flavor I would ever want again.

Someone mentioned ordering these chili spice packets from Amazon and making their own Cincinnati style coney dogs. Said they tasted just like Skyline. I had to try it!
Not only did I enjoy making the coneys, I also learned a lot about Cincinnati chili and how in the world it came to be!
