Recipe: Appetizing Copycat Skyline Chili

Recipe: Appetizing Copycat Skyline Chili Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Copycat Skyline Chili. A copycat of Skyline Chili, true Cincinnati chili, except it's less greasy! I combine all the dry spices times ten and keep the Skyline Spice Mix in a jar cannister. The spice mix is also tasty as a meat rub for steak, pork and chicken.

It's totally unique, and NOT like a traditional chili, but it's an absolutely delicacy here in the Midwest.

The copycat Skyline is absolutely delicious and Skyline Chili fan approved!

There are several great recipes floating around the internet, and we were inspired by The Chunky Chef.

While I'll eat it, I don't like to cook with ground beef and prefer ground poultry meat instead.

With a few modifications, I think this Skyline Chili copycat recipe with ground turkey is fantastic!
