¼ Cup Classic Yellow Mustard
1 12 oz. bag of Skyline's Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Optional:
1 Can of Drained Red Kidney Beans
1 Finely Minced White Onion

Instructions
1) Place pizza dough on a baking sheet and preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2) Smear the pizza dough with yellow mustard, leaving about a 1 inch ring around the dough for a crust.
3) Cover prepared dough in the Skyline Chili.
4) Sprinkle the pizza with Skyline Shredded Cheddar. (If you want to make it a 4-way or a 5-way this sprinkle on top of the cheese your onions or beans.)
5) If it is a fresh pizza dough fold the crust over on top of itself, kind of like a pie. Just keep folding it over itself to create a thicker crust.
6) Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes if it is pre-made dough or 15 minutes for a fresh pizza dough. Or until the cheese is melted and the crust is brown.
7) Once the pizza is finished cooking remove and let sit for approximately 5 minutes.

Skyline Sammies

Yield: 4-6 Hearty Sandwiches
Prep Time: 10 minutes, active
Cooking Time: 20 minutes

2 15 oz. cans of Skyline's Original Chili
1.5-2 Pounds Flank Steak
6 Slices Beer Bread
1 Cup Cream Cheese

Instructions
1) In a baking dish, combine your flank steak and 2 cans of Skyline Chili. Let marinate as long as you can! (I have only let it marinate for 20 minutes and it was still good.
2) Slice your bread into 1 inch thick slices, or if you are using good old white bread toast it for 1 minute or so.
3) Once your bread is prepared, smear a healthy amount of cream cheese per slice.
4) After the steak has had time to marinate, wipe the excess chili and throw the steak on a hot grill. Cook for 10 minutes until you flip it.
5) When the 10 minutes have passed flip and cook another 10 minutes.
6) Once the steak is finished cooking, let rest 5 minutes.
7) After the steak is finished resting, thinly slice and place it on top of the bread and cream cheese.

Skyline Burgers

Yield: 4 4oz. Burgers
Prep Time:10
Cook Time: 15

1 lb Ground Beef
½ 15 oz. can of Skyline's Original Chili
4 Hamburger Buns
2 12 oz. bags of Skyline's Shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 Cups of Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tb of Butter
2 Tb of Flour
1 Cup of Skyline Oyster Crackers
Optional:
1 Finely Minced Onion
1 Can of Drained Red Kidney Beans

Instructions
1) In a bowl, mix together the chili and ground beef until completely combined.
2) In a sauté pan, melt butter. Once melted, whisk together flour and let cook 1-2 minutes. (This is called a roux)
3) In a sauce pot, bring cream to a boil and then reduce to low heat.
4) Once the roux is made and the cream is hot, whisk the two together on low heat. You want to make sure you whisk so there are no lumps. The mixture should thicken up almost immediately.
5) To the cream mixture, add shredded cheese and stir until all the cheese is melted. Set aside once it is finished.
6) Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat. Form the ground beef into 4 equal patties and place on the grill. Make sure not to press them down or move them too soon. They will take about 7-8 minutes per side.
7) When the first side is done cooking, flip and finish the other side for another 7-8 minutes or until the burger is firm to touch.
8) To assemble, place one burger patties per bun, a ladle of cheese sauce on top, followed by a few crackers for crunch. Offer to make the burgers 4-ways or 5-ways by adding onions or beans.
9) Serve and enjoy!
