Serve Skyline lentil chili over spaghetti topped with chopped onion, finely shredded Cheddar cheese, kidney beans, and Tabasco sauce. I used to love Skyline Cincinnati-style chili. When I went vegetarian, I created this Skyline lentil chili recipe to give me that Skyline taste. I use green or black lentils as the protein, whereas standard Cincinnati-style chili uses ground meat. Even though I've gone back to eating meat, this is still my preferred way to get my Skyline fix.
