Chili Cheese Burgers
Description
These Chili Cheese Burgers are a decadent twist on the classic American staple. Instead of a simple patty, this recipe creates a stuffed burger experience by blending ground beef with a robust mix of chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, and a hint of heat from cayenne and red pepper sauce. The secret lies in the center: a layer of sharp cheddar cheese and zesty canned green chiles is sealed inside two thin patties, creating a gooey, spicy core that melts into every bite. The exterior gets a satisfying char whether you broil or grill them, while the interior remains juicy and packed with flavor. Perfect for game day gatherings, summer cookouts, or a hearty weeknight dinner when you crave something more exciting than standard fare. They are protein-packed, deeply savory, and incredibly satisfying.Ingredients
Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, red pepper sauce, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
-
Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly until just combined; avoid overworking the meat to keep the burgers tender.
-
Divide the beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each into a thin patty, approximately 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
-
Place 6 of the patties on a clean work surface and top each with one slice of cheddar cheese and 1 teaspoon of the chopped green chiles.
-
Place the remaining 6 patties on top of the cheese and chiles, pressing the edges firmly together to seal the filling inside.
-
Preheat your broiler or grill to medium-high heat.
-
Broil or grill the stuffed burgers about 4 inches from the heat source.
-
Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the exterior is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
-
Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
