CHILI CHEESEBURGERS

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 pounds ground beef
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, finely diced
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 14.5-ounce can kidney beans, drained
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
3 good-quality hamburger buns
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
Thin Fries, recipe follows, for serving, optional
10 large russet potatoes
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
Sea salt

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!

CHILI CHEESEBURGERS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 pounds ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 good-quality hamburger buns
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
4 cups chili, recipe follows, heated
4 pounds ground beef
6 cloves garlic, minced
Two 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/4 cup chili powder, or more as desired
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more as desired
Two 15-ounce cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Two 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup masa harina (corn flour) or regular cornmeal

Steps:

  • Form 6 somewhat-thin patties from the beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fry the patties over medium to medium-low heat in a large skillet, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Onto each half of a burger bun, place a cooked patty. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons grated Cheddar and a pile of hot chili.
  • In a large, heavy pot, brown the ground beef with the garlic over medium heat until the beef is totally cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off most of the excess fat, leaving a little behind for moisture and flavor. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Stir together well, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally; if the liquid level seems low, add up to 1 cup water to keep it from burning.
  • After an hour, stir in the kidney and pinto beans. In a small bowl, combine the masa harina with 1/2 cup water and stir together with a fork until it's smooth. Pour the masa mixture into the chili. Stir together well, then taste the chili and adjust the seasonings. Simmer the chili for another 10 minutes to thicken, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
  • Fill freezer bags with 2-cup portions and freeze them flat for easy stacking (or freeze in other freezer-safe containers).

THE ULTIMATE CHILI CHEESE SAUCE BISCUIT BURGER



The Ultimate Chili Cheese Sauce Biscuit Burger image

Warm flaky biscuits, leftover chili, cheesy burgers, onion rings and corn chips team up for a hearty dish that will score you big points around the dinner table.

Provided by Tieghan Gerard

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
2/3 cup milk
1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 fat content)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup leftover chili, hot (I used Cincinnati Chili)
10 to 12 frozen onions rings (if desired), cooked as directed on package
1 cup corn chips, if desired
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese (2 oz)
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese (6 oz)

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!

Steps:

Season the onion slices with 1/4 teaspoon each of the Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the onions to the griddle and cook, stirring until lightly golden, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly season the patties on both sides with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon Creole seasoning, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the Worcestershire. Push the onions off to one side, then place the patties on the hot griddle and cook for 3 to 4 minutes for medium, turning once halfway through. Flip the patties again, add 1 slice of cheese to the top of each, and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until cheese is melted. Place the hamburger buns, cut sides down, on the griddle, and cook until warmed through and lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • For each burger, place one toasted bun on a serving plate. Place one patty on the bottom half of the bun, spoon chili on top of the patty, and top with a second patty and more chili. Place a portion of onions on the chili, and finish off with the top of the bun. Serve immediately.

Chili Cheese Burger Bowls Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, white onion, garlic, ground beef, crushed tomato, tomato paste, light brown sugar, salt, ground black pepper, paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, water, grated parmesan cheese, ground beef, salt, pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, brioche burger buns

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 lb ground beef
14.5 oz crushed tomato
6 oz tomato paste
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup water
2 ⅔ cups grated parmesan cheese
2 lb ground beef, divided into 8 patties
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 brioche burger buns

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!
