Chili Ingredients

Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chili

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Brown the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chili simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Burger Preparation

  1. 5

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef (for patties) with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 6

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

  4. 8

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet. Place a cheese-topped patty on each bun, then generously spoon the prepared chili on top.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Serve the chili cheeseburgers with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
