Chili Cheddar Burger Recipes

CHILI CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Divide the ground beef in half and form 6 somewhat-thin patties out of one of the halves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fry the patties over medium to medium-low heat in a large skillet, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
• In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the rest of the ground beef, the garlic, onions and some salt and pepper and cook until browned. Drain off the grease and mix in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste, chili powder and cumin. Cook until nice and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Lay half of each bun on 6 plates (so each plate gets half a bun.). Lay 1 patty on each bun piece, then divide the cheese among the patties. Ladle the hot chili all over the patties. Serve with Thin Fries if desired.
• Peel and rinse the potatoes, then cut them into sticks by cutting each potato into 4 or 5 vertical pieces, then cutting each piece into sticks. Put the potato sticks in a large bowl, cover with cold water and swish them around to get off the extra starch. Pour off the starchy water and add fresh water. Continue washing the potatoes until the water runs clear. Cover with water again and allow them to soak for 2 or 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the fridge and let them soak for up to 3 days.)
• When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes sticks on baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot them with more paper towels to dry them.
• Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, about 1 minute per batch. They should not be brown at all at this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain them on new/dry paper towels.
• When all the potatoes have been fried once, turn up the heat until the oil reaches 400 degrees F. Start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle the fries with sea salt and dive in!

LOADED CHILI CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Prepare the onion rings as the label directs; keep warm. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. During the last minute of grilling, top each patty with a slice of cheese. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the buns, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Top the bun bottoms with the burger patties, chili and onion rings. Drizzle with the barbecue sauce, then cover with the bun tops.

CHILI-CHEDDAR BURGER

Steps:

• To make the patties, divide the sirloin into six 5-ounce sirloin balls and form each ball into a patty. Arrange on a tray, cover, and refrigerate.
• Toast the buns and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to cover the entire bottom of the skillet. When the oil begins to smoke, reduce the heat to medium and place half of the patties in the skillet. Season the patties with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes.
• Flip, and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more for medium-rare doneness. Do it again with the remaining patties.
• To assemble the burgers, place 1 patty on 1 toasted bun bottom. Top the patty with some chili-Cheddar sauce, 1/4 cup of the sour cream, and 1/4 cup of the scallions. Cover with the top of the bun. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Wrap half the burger in wax paper. Let rest for 2 to 3 minutes and serve.

CHILI CHEESE BURGER BOWLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot with a lid over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, until translucent.
• Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, brown sugar, salt, ground pepper, paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, and stir to combine. Add water and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Set a wire cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. Place a metal 1-cup (240 ml) measuring cup upside down on top of the cooling rack.
• In a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour ⅓ cup (35 g) of Parmesan in the center of the pan and spread out into a thin circle, about 5 inches across. Without disturbing the cheese, melt for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and fully melted.
• Once the cheese is fully melted, run a spatula along the edges of the cheese and shake the pan to loosen the cheese circle. Carefully slide the melted cheese over the inverted measuring cup to form a cheese bowl. DO NOT TOUCH, it is extremely hot. Set aside and let cool completely, about ten minutes. Repeat with the rest of the Parmesan to make 8 bowls.
• Lightly grease a large skillet over high heat, then add the beef patties (in batches, if necessary) and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes without disturbing, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached at least 165˚F (75˚C).
• To assemble, place a bottom burger bun on a plate and put a cheese bowl on top. Lay a burger patty inside the cheese bowl and top with a spoonful of chili, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and the top bun.
• Enjoy!

GREEN CHILE CHEDDAR BURGER FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, mix beef, 1 can green chiles, chili powder, 1 teaspoon of the cumin, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1 cup of the cheese until blended. Form into 4 patties about 1/2-inch thick. In small bowl, mix corn, remaining can of green chiles, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Place beef patty on center of each sheet of foil. Scoop about 1/3 cup of corn mixture on top of each patty.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 8 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 7 to 9 minutes longer or until patties are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. Remove packs from grill. Cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheese; garnish with cilantro and a lime wedge.

THE ULTIMATE CHILI CHEESE SAUCE BISCUIT BURGER

Steps:

• To make the biscuits, heat oven to 450°F. Stir ingredients until soft dough forms. Turn onto surface dusted with Bisquick mix. Knead 10 times. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut with 2 1/2-inch cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Next, Heat gas or charcoal grill. Add beef to large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Shape beef into 4 equal patties. Place on grill over medium-high heat. Close grill; cook to desired doneness. I cook mine about 4 minutes per side, but it will depend on how thick your burgers are. Remove from grill, and keep warm while you make cheese sauce.
• To make cheese sauce, melt butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in flour; cook about 1 minute. Beat in milk and mustard with whisk. Heat to bubbling, and let thicken, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat, and stir in provolone cheese, Cheddar cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until cheese is melted.
• To assemble burgers, split biscuits in half and place a burger patty on the bottom of each biscuit. Top each burger with about 1/4 cup of hot chili, then carefully drizzle on the warm cheese sauce. Finish the burgers with warm crispy onion rings and corn chips. Top with the top half of the biscuit, and enjoy!
