I just found your site when searching for a recipe that used to be on
the B & M baked bean cans. Found enough information on that to combine
with what I know to answer my question. Then, got into going into your
archives. Great site! I printed out all kinds of things. Couple of things...
1. As a former resident of Cincinnati, I didn't like the sound of any of
your Cincinnati chili recipes. First of all, Empire's is not the best.
Second, the beef is NOT fried. Third, I doubt strongly if there is paprika
or beef bouillon involved. I have a recipe that came from the Cincinnati "
Enquirer" newspaper that comes REAL close to Skyline chili (the best in
Cincinnati). It is similar to one of your recipes, just no paprika or beef
bouillon:
1 qt. (4 c.) water
2 lb. ground beef
2 medium-size onions, grated fine
2 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
5 whole allspice or 1/2 t. ground
1/2 t. crushed red pepper
1 t. ground cumin seed
4 cloves garlic
3 T. chili powder
2 T. vinegar
1 large bay leaf
5 whole cloves
2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 oz. bitter chocolate
2 t. ground cinnamon
Accompaniments: spaghetti, chopped onion, shredded mild cheddar, kidney beans
1. Add ground beef to water in 4 qt. pot; stir immediately, breaking beef up
to a fine texture.
2. Boil slowly for 30 min.
3. Add all other ingredients, except accompaniments.
4. Stir to blend, bringing to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered about
3 hours. (For the last hour, pot may be covered after desired consistency
is reached.)
5. Serve over cooked spaghetti and topped with the chopped onion, cheddar,
and/or kidney beans, to taste.

stir until dissolved. Add the egg in the shell If it does float
add more salt until it does, stirring to dissolve as before. Remove
egg. Add the pig's feet, saltpeter, 3 bay leaves, thyme and 1
teaspoon pepper. Add more water, if necessary, to completely cover
feet. Cover and refrigerate for 3 or 4 days. Drain and add
remaining 6 cups water. Add onions, carrots, vinegar, remaining bay

them. Cool, cover and refrigerate. Makes 6 servings.

Hello Robin,
I cannot find that recipe, but Luby's has a toll-free phone number on
their website. They say you can call that number and get any recipe that
was in that cookbook. See:
