Copycat Skyline Cincinnati Chili – Keto Low Carb Recipe

21shares
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Copycat Cincinnati Skyline Chili

You may be surprised to learn that the famous Cincinnati style chili can be extremely keto friendly, despite it’s sweeter taste. It’s also gluten free. According to its site, a Skyline Chili bowl has ZERO carbs. The downfall of Cincinnati style chili is that it’s traditionally served with several things that are full of ketosis wrecking carbohydrates. Fortunately, those are easily avoided and the chili itself is quite good. This Cincinnati Chili recipe has all the flavor of Skyline and Gold Star while keeping the carbs low.

Cincinnati chili at restaurants is like any other fast food, mass produced and may not be as high quality as you’d like. However, if you’re not in Cincinnati and craving this regional specialty there are some easy options. Skyline chili is sold in the refrigerated section of some grocery stores, as well as on Amazon in cans.

If you really want a treat though, make this tasty Skyline style chili at home with our copycat Skyline Cincinnati Chili recipe. It can be served with the traditional accompaniments or presented as a totally keto friendly meal. The copycat Skyline is absolutely delicious and Skyline Chili fan approved!

My Chili History

When I lived in Texas as a young girl, chili was an extremely popular dish. However, the style there was much more similar to my Triple Meat Carnivore Chili recipe than Cincinnati style chili.

I remember when I first moved to northern Kentucky I was so excited to discover that there was not just one, but TWO whole restaurant chains devoted to chili: Gold Star Chili and Skyline Chili. However, the first times I tried them, I was disappointed. Cincinnati style chili was so different from the Texas style chili to which I’d become accustomed.

Cincinnati Chili Recipe Origins aka Skyline Chili

Cincinnati style chili recipes include some “unusual” seasonings, at least when compared to Texas-style chili. It’s much sweeter and has a flavor profile more similar to Greek braised lamb shank than what people typically think of as chili. This makes a lot of sense when you discover that the most popular Cincinnati style chili chain, Skyline Chili, was founded by Nicholas Lambrinides from Kastoria, Greece.

Traditionally, Kastoria is known for its lamb dishes, particularly lamb with quince. As part of Macedonia, lots of Kastoria area recipes have a middle eastern flavor profile. If you look at recipes for lamb with quince, you’ll start to see where the base for the Skyline Chili family recipe was created. Most of the Greek recipes for quince lamb dishes call for cinnamon (read more about why you should use Ceylon cinnamon here), cumin and coriander, which are at least some of the flavors present in Cincinnati chili recipes. The true Skyline Cincinnati chili recipe is a closely guarded secret!

Skyline Chili History

Before Skyline was founded in 1949, there was another Macedonian immigrant Tom Kiradjieff that created a version of Cincinnati chili in 1922.  Their small Greek restaurant was called the Empress.  The restaurant didn’t do well, but the Middle Eastern spiced Cincinnati chili recipe lived on in various forms and was copied by other Greek restaurants. The brothers also invented the “ways” of ordering. According to Wikipedia, Nicholas Lambrinides was a former employee of Empress Chili. When Lambrinides opened Skyline Chili in 1949, it took over as the largest Cincinnati chili chain.

While Skyline Chili is probably now still the largest with a few stores even outside of the Cincinnati area, there are actually hundreds of local restaurants that serve this Cincinnati favorite. Every restaurant has its own unique version of a Cincinnati Chili recipe. Trying different versions of the chili is a local past time, but most arguments come down to whether Skyline or Gold Star rules the Cincinnati Chili world.

Keto Cincinnati Chili Recipe

Cincinnati chili is traditionally served over spaghetti noodles and with oyster crackers. They also serve it with a mild hot sauce similar to Frank’s Red Hot or Louisiana Hot Sauce.  If you prefer to have an exact copy, you can find Skyline Chili’s own brand of hot sauce at Kroger or online.

This Cincinnati chili recipe is definitely different than Texas chili and most certainly an acquired taste if Texas chili is what you’re used to.

There are multiple ways to order Cincinnati chili in a restaurant. Just in case you aren’t familiar with ordering, all of the ways (including my newly defined keto ways) are below. You’ll easily see which ingredients need to be avoided to keep your meal from kicking you out of ketosis.

It’s super easy to keep this copycat Skyline Cincinnati Chili recipe keto friendly at home. It’s also gluten free since it’s not being served with crackers. You can follow these same principles to keep it keto at the restaurant too. Stick with keto friendly toppings. This means the traditional shredded cheddar cheese and a small amount of white onions are fine. The spaghetti, beans and oyster crackers are a big no-no if you’re eating keto. Nutrition information at the Skyline site puts a regular size five-way at 70 grams of carbohydrates and 900 calories (that’s without the crackers).

Cincinnati Chili  Traditional “Ways”

  • 2-way = spaghetti and chili
  • 3-way = spaghetti, chili, cheese
  • 4-way = spaghetti, chili, onions OR beans, cheese
  • 5-way = spaghetti, chili, onion AND beans, cheese

Cincinnati Chili Traditional Coneys

  • Bun, hot dog, chili
  • Bun, hot dog, chili, cheese
  • Bun, hot dog, chili, mustard OR onion, cheese

Bun, hot dog, chili, mustard AND onion, cheese (my fav!!)

Cincinnati Chili “Keto-Ways” (I totally made these up so they won’t know what you’re talking about if you try to order a Keto-Way at Skyline)

  • 2-way keto = chili and cheese in a bowl
  • 3-way keto= chili, cheese and hot dog in a bowl
  • 4-way keto = chili, cheese, hot dog and onion in a bowl

Cincinnati Chili Recipe – Keto Friendly and Gluten Free

While this copycat Skyline recipe might not be a dead-on copy of the original, it’s very close. Please try it and let us know what you think. If you happen to be in the Cincinnati area, try a taste test against the original. You may even find you like the Heal Nourish Grow version better!

If you've ever wanted to make Cincinnati style Skyline Chili at home this is your recipe! We keep it low carb by avoiding the traditional spaghetti and serving it in a bowl or with a noodle substitute instead.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American, Greek
Servings: 10
Calories: 177 kcal
Author: Cheryl McColgan
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil greek
  • 140 grams onion chopped
  • 1 pound ground chuck finely ground
  • 1 ounce bakers chocolate
  • 3 ounces tomato paste
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon bone broth powder or beef broth concentrate
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ceylon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper
  • 5 drops liquid stevia
  • 1 tablespoon molasses optional
Traditional Cincinnati Chili Toppings
  • finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • chopped white onion
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
  1. Add olive oil to a dutch oven over medium heat.

  2. Sautee onion in the heated olive oil until softened, about 3 minutes.

  3. Keeping heat medium to low, add bakers chocolate and stir until melted. Turn off heat.

  4. In a separate pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat, mashing with a potato masher as it's cooking to result in a very finely ground consistency. To keep the consistency of traditional Cincinnati chili, you are NOT looking to brown the meat. This is why you need the heat lower and continual mashing as it's cooking.

    If you can have your butcher finely ground the meat, much more than what you typically find in a grocery store, you'll be much closer to the final consistency needed for Cincinnati style chili.

  5. Add tomato paste and ground beef to the dutch oven onion mixture and stir until combined.

  6. Turn heat back on to medium. Add water and the bone broth powder or concentrate and mix thoroughly.

  7. Add all remaining spices and ingredients and mix thoroughly.

  8. Bring mixture briefly to a boil then reduce to a simmer.

  9. Keeping at a low simmer with the top on, cook the chili for 40 minutes. This step is necessary to produce the consistency of traditional Cincinnati chili.

  10. Remove the lid and cook chili an additional 45 minutes or until liquid is reduced by about a quarter. Consistency should be between a sauce and a stew.

  11. If you'd like a thicker chili than the traditional Cincinnati style thinner consistency, simply cook until the water has reduced more. 

  12. Cincinnati Chili is traditionally served over spaghetti. To keep this recipe low carb, simply serve in a bowl or use your favorite noodle substitute.

Recipe Notes

Nutrition information is for the chili only.

The optional one tablespoon of molasses adds 15 carbohydrates to the overall recipe but also adds a flavor that mimics the original recipe. You can reduce the carb count by leaving it out. The chili is still excellent without it.

New year and plenty of new faces around so I thoug New year and plenty of new faces around so I thought I'd do a little introduction.

I'm Cheryl McColgan, founder of Heal Nourish Grow. I've been into health, wellness and fitness in some form my whole adult life. You can see all my background at the site on my "about" page.

As a New Year's resolution in January 2016, I started going lower-carb and in January 2017 went to keto. The benefits I have experienced are amazing! Reduced anxiety and depression and weight loss plus it's the easiest way of eating I've ever done...definitely easier than the 7 years I was vegetarian.  And my brain feels 1000% better than all the years of low-fat!

Seventeen months ago I added in exogenous ketones and found an amazing community. 

People always wonder why you might drink them if you're already in ketosis...all I can say is that they have taken my brain function to another level!  Plus you can use them if you don't eat keto. I tested out about 8 different brands and did tons of research before deciding to use them.  There is a LOT of crap out there.

Since much of my work is writing and focus, I notice the biggest impact on how my brain functions day to day. They suppress my appetite and my body composition is continuing to change.

You don't need supplements or anything extra to be successful with keto...well except electrolytes...critical. HOWEVER!!! If you are looking to optimize function and take your experience to the next level, why wouldn't you use tools that help?

It's a no brainer. Day to day life and weight loss is hard enough. If you're lucky enough to find tools that work, whatever that is for you, use them!

If you could use some help getting back on track, let me be your accoutabilibuddy. Helping people look and feel better is my passion!

Blessed to have such amazing holiday food this yea Blessed to have such amazing holiday food this year!

This ham was definitely in the top five holiday meals and I typically don't even like ham. My favorite was the smoked ribeye roast on Christmas though. 

What was your favorite holiday meal so far?

No matter what your religion, color, political par No matter what your religion, color, political party, gender association or other differences, wishing you the best and most peaceful holiday season. 

One of my very wise teachers always said peace in your home, peace in the world. Peace has to start somewhere, even in the smallest way!

We could all use more peace on earth, no? How are you celebrating the holidays?
