Steak and Shake 5 way Chili
Steak and Shake 5 Way Chili is a hearty chili featuring ground chuck, tomato sauce, kidney beans, and a mix of spices including chili powder and garlic salt. The slow simmering of the beef, sauce, and beans with seasonings develops a rich, robust chili. Served traditionally over spaghetti and topped with chili sauce, shredded cheese, and diced onions, this chili combines spicy, savory, and tangy elements emblematic of the restaurant's classic preparation.

5 Way Chili add ons
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1 onion diced
- 12 ounces Monterey jack cheese Colby cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce Heinz brand
Instructions
- Please note the onions that are cooked in the chili are optional. You can leave them out. I personally love onions when cooked in the chili. Steak N Shake does not add onions to cooked chili. Chopped onions are served on top of the chili.
- In a skillet on medium-low heat saute ground beef and onions. When the beef has been cooked, drain all grease and place in a medium-large saucepan. Add celery salt, tomato sauce, kidney beans, garlic powder, garlic salt, chili powder, pepper, water, and salt, mix all ingredients.
- On low heat place a lid on the saucepan and simmer for one hour, stirring frequently. After the chili has been cooking for an hour add tomato paste and stir well. Place lid on the pan and simmer an additional half-hour. Prepare spaghetti as directed and drain.
