Method
Burger Patties
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined and form into 4 equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
Chili Topping
Prepare the Chili
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Special Sauce
Make the Special Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
Assembly
Assemble the Burger
Toast the sesame seed burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheeseburger patty. Top the patty with a generous spoonful of chili, then drizzle with the special sauce. Add tomato slices, and cover with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
