Copycat Skyline Chili step by step

In a large Dutch oven on medium high combine the water and beef broth.
Add the tomato paste and chocolate and stir continuously until both are melted and blended fully..
Add all spices, vinegar and sugar. Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally..
Once simmering add the turkey and ground beef. Break up into small pieces as you add them..
Bring to a boil, but as it's heating up continue to stir to break the meat up into a fine consistency. I used a potato masher..
Once it's up to a rapid boil reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and let cook uncovered for about an hour and a half. Stirring occasionally and testing for flavor. My cinnamon was a bit old so I had to add a little more..
Once the consistency and flavors are where you like the serve on top of hotdogs for the best coney's ever!.

It can be served with the traditional accompaniments or presented as a totally keto friendly meal.
