Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chili

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add kidney beans and diced tomatoes. Simmer for 30 minutes.

Slaw Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage and grated carrot. In another bowl, mix mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Refrigerate until serving.

Burger Assembly

  1. 3

    Cook the Burgers

    Season ground beef with salt and pepper, form into patties, and grill or pan-fry until desired doneness is reached. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On each burger bun, add a scoop of chili, a generous portion of slaw, sliced onions, and a drizzle of mustard. Top with the cooked beef patty and the other half of the bun.
