Ingredients

Burger Patties

Chili Topping

Preparation

Burger Patties

1. 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.

2. Cook the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Chili Topping

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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.
