Cincinnati Chili Recipe (Chili Cheese Dogs) | I Heart Recipes
Hey y’all! If you’ve never had Cincinnati Chili, you’ve got to give it a try. Here’s my recipe for authentic Cincinnati Chili.
I lived in Ohio for just a couple of months when I was 16, and that is when I fell in love with Cincinnati Chili. Everything about it is amazing. The flavors and aroma, even the texture. I had to recreate this dish and make it my own. Watch my tutorial to see how I make my version of Cincinnati Chili.
Start by browning ground beef. You can use ground turkey, but I prefer beef. Add in a good amount of chopped onions, a little water and a can of tomato sauce, and give it a stir. I use a homemade Cincinnati Chili spice mixture as my local grocer doesn’t carry it prepackaged. My spice mixture is super simple and so good. Add this to the meat along with minced garlic and vinegar. Next add in unsweetened chocolate. You read that right, y’all! Unsweetened chocolate is a key ingredient to authentic Cincinnati chili. It gives it a rich flavor and a nice dark color. Stir until the chocolate is melted. Simmer for 2-½ hours, making sure to stir periodically so the bottom doesn’t burn. There are two popular ways to serve this chili. One way is to serve over a bed of spaghetti and the other is to spoon it over a hot dog. Whichever way you decide, top with shredded cheese and onions, and you’re good to go!

Cincinnati Chili
Authentic Cincinnati Chili is a meaty, rich, and uniquely spiced chili from (you guessed it!) Cincinnati, Ohio. It's served over hot spaghetti with your choice of toppings. Don’t forget the cheese and oyster crackers! #chili #cincinnatichili #simplyrecipes #cincinnati
Let's make some chili!
Cincinnati Style Skyline Chili
Cincinnati chili (or Cincinnati-style chili) is a Mediterranean-spiced meat sauce used as a topping for spaghetti or hot dogs (coneys); both dishes were developed by immigrant restaurateurs in the 1920s. In 2013, Smithsonian named it one of the 20 Most Iconic Foods in America. Its name evokes comparison to chili con carne, but the two are dissimilar in consistency, flavor, and serving method; Cincinnati chili more closely resembles Greek pasta sauces and spiced-meat hot dog topping sauces seen in other parts of the United States.

Your opinion wasn't in my recipe apron:
Ingredients include ground beef, water or stock, tomato paste, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, cumin, chili powder, bay leaf, and in some home recipes unsweetened dark chocolate in a soupy consistency. Customary toppings include cheddar cheese, onions, and beans; specific combinations of toppings are known as ways. The most popular order is a 'three-way', which adds shredded cheese to the chili-topped spaghetti (a 'two-way'), while a 'four-way' or 'five-way' adds onions and/or beans before topping with the cheese. Ways are often served with oyster crackers and a mild hot sauce. Cincinnati chili is almost never served or eaten by the bowl.
While served in many local restaurants, it is most often associated with the over 250 independent and chain chili parlors (restaurants specializing in Cincinnati chili) found throughout greater Cincinnati with franchise locations throughout Ohio and in Kentucky, Indiana, Florida, and the Middle East. The dish is the Cincinnati area's best-known regional food.

Origins and history
Cincinnati chili originated with immigrant restaurateurs who were trying to expand their customer base by moving beyond narrowly ethnic styles of cuisine. Tom and John Kiradjieff emigrated from the village of Hrupishta (today's Argos Orestiko), fleeing ethnic rivalries and bigotry in the fallout from the Balkan Wars and World War I, in 1921. They began serving a stew with traditional Mediterranean spices as a topping for hot dogs which they called coneys in 1922 at their hot dog stand located next to a burlesque theater called the Empress, which they named their business after. Tom Kiradjieff used the sauce to modify a traditional dish, speculated to have been pastitsio, moussaka or saltsa kima to come up with a dish he called chili spaghetti. He first developed a recipe calling for the spaghetti to be cooked in the chili but changed his method in response to customer requests and began serving the sauce as a topping, eventually adding grated cheese as a topping for both the chili spaghetti and the coneys, also in response to customer requests.
To make ordering more efficient, the brothers created the way system of ordering. The style has since been copied and modified by many other restaurant proprietors, often Greek and Macedonian immigrants who had worked at Empress restaurants before leaving to open their own chili parlors, often following the business model to the point of locating their restaurants adjacent to theaters.
Besides Empress, Skyline, and Gold Star, there are also smaller chains such as Dixie Chili and Deli and numerous independents including the acclaimed Camp Washington Chili.

Cincinnati Chili
2 Pounds 93% ground sirloin (raw)
1 Quart + 1 Cup tomato juice (5 cups)
1 Teaspoon cinnamon
1 Large peeled whole onion (I used a large diced onion)
2 Dashes Worcestershire sauce

1 Teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon salt
1 Teaspoon vinegar
5 Bay leaves
1 Teaspoon cumin
Combine all ingredients in the instant pot. Stir to make sure it is evenly combined.
I add the bay leaves after I stir, it's easier to mix it well. Add the onion last if you are going to use a whole onion.
Make sure to break up the meat as you mix.
Cook on manual high or pressure cook high for 12 minutes and allow it to do a self release. It took about 18 minutes to self release.
Remove onion (if you used a whole one) and bay leaves.
May be served over spaghetti noodles and sprinkled with shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese. Add what ever you like. Beans, chopped onions, etc.. Can also be served over Hot dogs on bun for Coney Islands.
