Portland marketing whiz <a href=\"http:\/\/www.design4brand.com\/\">Dan Berne<\/a>, who knows of my affinity for all things chili-dog related, blessed me with a gaggle of packets of Cincinnati style chili mix!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be a Cincy chili dog weekend for sure!   It&#8217;s 6:35AM Saturday, and I&#8217;m off to Winco to get the balance of the fixin&#8217;s!  Woo hoo!  Thanks, Dan!<\/p>\n<p>(Some hours later)<\/p>\n<p>Well, the packet instructions were simple.\u00a0 Add packet to six cups water, 1 small can tomato paste, and a pound to a pound and half of unbrowned ground beef.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bring to boil, and simmer for two hours, until it reaches your desired thickness.<\/p>\n<p>I went a little heavy on the meat, and long on the simmer, but it turned out perfect, I couldn&#8217;t ask for better home-made hot dog chili.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I knew it was right when I saw an oil slick on top of the pot (I&#8217;m not kidding, all great hot dog chili has one!)  You can buy this product all over the internet. Just google Skytime Chili.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/skyline-1-PNG.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1158\" title=\"skyline  1 PNG\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/skyline-1-PNG.png\" alt=\"skyline  1 PNG\" width=\"538\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/skyline-4-PNG.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1159\" title=\"skyline 4 PNG\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/skyline-4-PNG.png\" alt=\"skyline 4 PNG\" width=\"609\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you know Cincinnati, you know it&#8217;s the chili capital of North America.
