This Midwestern standout wields a familiar trinity: chopped onion, a stripe of mustard, a sauce of finely ground beef. But it is then topped with a prodigal pile of shredded Cheddar. Adherents who haunt parlors like Skyline and Camp Washington scoff at the it’s-not-chili complaints, celebrating the sauce’s distinctive spicing of nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon — and the miraculous merging of Mediterranean and Slavic flavors with early-20th-century American tastes. That said, they also take theirs on spaghetti, so the jury’s still out.
Nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, on spaghetti…Sooo not chili, sounds more like pumpkin pie dessert. To each their own….I would eat it if I was starving, or invited to dinner and it was the only choice on the menu, or if I ever visited “Skyline” (luckily for me, pretty much zero chance of that😬). I like my main courses umami….not fragrantly sweet?
At noon, in Cincinnati, businessmen line up down the block to get Skyline: plain, with cheese and onions,or with spaghetti, cheese and onions. Heretics add beans. Awesome, addictive stuff.
Made a mash-up sorta thing... It's a cross between a chicken lasagna and a Shepherd's pie. Cubed chicken breast, diced tomatoes, cottage cheese, wheat tortillas instead of pasta, peppers jack cheese, onions, mashed potatoes, green peas, and a boatload of spices... It's not bad though.
Dry rubbed tuna steaks, iron skillet pan seared over rice, with Italian herb zucchini, and Pinot grigio. Paired after dinner with C&D Espresso and vodka with lemon 🍋
I loaded up my oldest Rob Roy, I'm pretty sure it's a Legend, with Kensington. I just made a pour over cup of coffee and Amazon is going to deliver our mustard in time to have kielbasa for dinner with a side of potatoes roasted in a cast iron skillet.
Choice Ribeye steak grilled medium rare over hickory, topped with sauteed portobello and onion, served with grilled corn on the cob, Yukon/Kerry Gold mashers and delicious Malbec from Mendoza Argentina.
Tonight we went vegetarian with zucchini pancakes, cappressi salad and Brazilian cheese bread. Hard cider was/is the beverage and Kensington in a Pride completes the meal!
Tonight: Smoked turkey breast served with baked sweet potato cubes and fresh buttered corn. Sipping a nice red wine along with my smokey bear & lounge cigar. Desert Homemade walnut cinnamon twist

I pm'd my basic chili recipe. I forgot I had typed up the basic recipe a couple of years ago for one of my sons.
I’d give it a try🙂
Dessert pipe is GLP Abingdon in a Rob Roy.
Yum!!
Sounds delish except for the Brussel sprouts.
Should have taken a picture, sounds great 👍
