Chili Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Form into two equal patties, each weighing approximately 1/3 pound.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet, cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burger

    Place each cooked patty on an open-faced hamburger bun. Generously spoon chili over each patty.

  4. 4

    Add the Cheese

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili-covered patties.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled burgers under a broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chili cheeseburgers hot with a side of fresh cut fries or house-made chips. Enjoy with a fork!
