The original recipe calls for Gruyere cheese, because this is not easy to find in my area i used shredded cheddar. I plan on using parmesan or a white cheddar next time i make it.

Nearly Cincinnati Chili Nearly Cincinnati Chili
Cincinnati Skyline Chili was a regular family meal growing up in the Midwest. Mine is "nearly" the same because I'm not too fond of chili powder, which is used heavily in true Skyline Chili. I substitute minced jalapeño peppers. If you'd prefer the authentic version, leave out the jalapeños and add 1/4 cup chili powder.#Goldenapron23

Shrimp & Grit Cakes (Kentucky Bourbon Butter Sauce) Shrimp & Grit Cakes (Kentucky Bourbon Butter Sauce)
Inspired by Southern “Low-Country” kitchens and dining tables, this dish is easy to prepare and looks and tastes delicious. It’s ideal as a main dish or as a first-course menu item, but in smaller plate portions. Tip: Prepare the grits an hour prior to cooking, since this all comes together rather quickly.
