Gluten-Free Skyline Chili Recipe!

April 9, 2012 By

One of the ways I have tried to keep things ‘normal’ around my house after my Gluten Intolerance Diagnosis, was to turn recipes that we used to eat into Gluten-Free Recipes.  My sister in law introduced me to Skyline Chili a few years ago – this is a Chili Recipe that can be served over Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, or Pasta.

Skyline Chili was originated out of Cincinnati Ohio and was introduced through Skyline Restaurants, which offers many Gluten-Free Menu Options.  I was bound and determined to make it at home because I loved it so much when I first tried it!  I think this is the recipe that tastes the closest to the original recipe – I serve it over my favorite Gluten-Free Pasta Tinkyada Brown Rice Pasta.  This is the closest Pasta that I have found to regular Spaghetti, it is not mushy and stays to form when cooked.

 

Here are the Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cold Water
  • 1 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 1 yellow onion – Diced very fine
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (Use Lea & Perrins which is Gluten-Free)
  • 1/2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa (Hershey’s Cocoa is Gluten-Free)
  • 1/8 – 1/4 cup chili powder (flavor to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 – 1 tsp ground cumin (flavor to taste)
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1 whole bay leaf
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves (flavor to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1  tsp salt

Here are the direction:

  1. Boil 1 lb. Ground Beef and one Onion, Finely Minced, in 2 1/2 cups of water for 30 minutes or until Ground Beef is cooked all the way through.
  2. Add all the dry ingredients and Garlic Cloves directly to the meat and stir.  I start of with the lowest amount of spices listed above – then taste it as I go along to see if I need to add any more of the ingredients to make the flavor better.
  3. Add Crushed Tomatoes and Worcestershire Sauce – then stir.
  4. Cook over low heat for 1 hour – skim fat off the top of the chili.
  5. Serve over Hot Dog, Hamburger, or Gluten-Free Pasta.
  6. Top with Shredded Cheddar Cheese (We use Cabot) and Sour Cream.
  7. You can also top it with raw Red Onions and Kidney Beans.

Gluten-Free Baby and Gluten-Free Mommy are happy :)
