I do weekly baking challenges and decided to do Cincinnati chili since it's not a true regional delicacy unkess people argue about it anytime it is brought up. My friends have lived here in NW Ohio for 3 years and mever tried Skyline, so i brought it over to them. I forgot the oyster crackers, and they were hesitant to put the full mountain of cheese, but over all they enjoyed it.
Cheese definitely needs finer shredding. I usually just grab a block and use the smaller shred holes on my box grater, that'll get you a nice light pile of cheese.
I used this recipe, including the ounce of dark chocolate. Chilled it over night in the fridge, scraped off the grease layer, and then reheated th chili on the stove while i boiled the noodles.
